ROUND TABLE

Exploring agrivoltaics: Opportunities, trade-offs and potential solutions – integrating key aspects through a multiactor perspective discussion

Achieving carbon neutrality relies on renewable energy infrastructures like hydrological dams, photovoltaic arrays, and wind parks, often in agriculturally utilized areas. Despite their crucial role in achieving carbon neutrality while maintaining socio-economic growth, these infrastructures necessitate careful consideration of their impacts on land systems to achieve net emissions savings. Understanding the intricate interplay between renewable energy infrastructures, ecosystem functions, and political regulatory frameworks is essential for a successful transition to carbon neutrality. This round table discussion focuses on agrivoltaics – integrating perspectives from policy and academia to explore opportunities and trade-offs associated with photovoltaic infrastructures on agriculturally utilized land. By addressing technological, environmental, socio-economic, and political dimensions, the discussion aims to inform strategies for effective carbon emissions mitigation while respecting ecosystems and fostering a sustainable energy transition. It serves as a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, promoting collaborative solutions for sustainable energy transitions.
