The potential land requirements and related land use change ... nature.com 13 facts
measurementAt 25–80% penetration in the electricity mix of the European Union, India, Japan, and South Korea by 2050, solar energy may occupy 0.5–5% of total land.
measurementThe absolute land use per unit of solar output in Europe is almost twice as high as in Japan and South Korea, and three times higher than in India, due to lower irradiance and higher latitude.
claimIf solar land is seeded with herbs and managed as pastures, total land use change (LUC) emissions per kWh of electricity are 3 to 5 times lower than if vegetation is cleared, and could become negative (net carbon sequestration) in India, Japan, and South-Korea if long-term effects post-2050 are considered.
claimOnly a limited portion of the land requirements and related land use change (LUC) emissions driven by bioenergy expansion are projected to occur within the EU, India, Japan, and South-Korea due to the tradeability of bioenergy.
claimThe displacement of commercial land by solar energy infrastructure in the EU, India, Japan, and South-Korea is expected to incentivize the use of currently unused arable land in other regions and boost the commercialization of unmanaged land, indirectly leading to the loss of natural land cover.
referenceThe study computed potential solar land requirements and related land use change emissions for the European Union, India, Japan, and South Korea using a novel method within an integrated assessment model that links socioeconomic, energy, land, and climate systems.
claimSolar energy infrastructure is prioritized in specific regions, including southern Europe, north western India, and southern Japan and South-Korea, leading to an unequal spread of land occupation within these regions.
measurementBy 2050, if at least half of the produced electricity comes from solar power, land used for solar energy infrastructure will amount to over 50% of current urban land in the EU, over 85% in India, and over 75% in Japan and South-Korea.
measurementIf all previous vegetation is permanently cleared for solar energy projects, the total direct and indirect land use change (LUC) emissions from 2020 to 2050 correspond to 5 to 16% of emissions from natural gas combustion for power generation in developed regions like the EU, Japan, and South-Korea, and about 2.5–3.5% in India.
claimSolar energy expansion in the EU, India, Japan, and South-Korea is projected to predominantly replace or avoid future conversion of land used for commercial purposes, such as cropland or commercial forest, rather than significantly affecting unmanaged land.
measurementUtility-Scale Solar Energy (USSE) land occupation is projected to range from 0.5% to 2.8% of total territory in the EU, 0.3% to 1.4% in India, and 1.2% to 5.2% in Japan and South-Korea, assuming solar energy accounts for 25% to 80% of the electricity mix.
claimUtility-Scale Solar Energy (USSE) projects in Europe, India, Japan, and South Korea primarily use arable land.
referenceThe study focuses on the European Union, India, and the combined region of Japan and South Korea as areas where high solar energy penetration is likely to induce land competition.
