Sustainability Performance Evaluation of Renewable Energy Sources: The Case of Brazil

Abstract

In this chapter, the method of assessing the sustainability performance of renewable energy production technologies, proposed in Chap. 5, is applied to a case study in the Brazilian context, aiming at demonstrating a practical application and also identifying critical aspects for the analysis. Six renewable energy sources for electricity generation in two regions of Brazil (six projects) are selected, deeply described and their indicators are evaluated for 3 different scenarios. The Appendices A, B and C shows detailed information on the calculation of indicators, AIS and a summary of results on radar charts.
