Description
Summary:Renewable energy technologies like wind, solar and biomass use land in a more intense way than traditional fossil fuels and, geographically, its environmental implications are more heterogeneous, thus constituting a big challenge for the evaluation techniques of their life cycle. This work presents the results of a bibliographical research about these topics: 1) changes in land use because of increased production of renewable energy, 2) impacts of land use; 3) geographical variability in data inventory, and 4) effects of energy distribution. Besides, is reviewed the degree of research currently conducted on technologies of renewable energy in fields like wind, solar, and bioenergy and life cycle evaluation in general
