This article explores the evidence of spatial analysis in forest bioenergy for electricity generation from 1980 to 2019. Bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review were carried out using the ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus databases. The results showed that, in the period studied, there were 28 publications distributed in scientific articles (92.85%) and review articles (7.14%). Through content analysis, three main areas were highlighted: environmental, economic and financial, and availability of biomass. The first study was published in 1989, dealing with the energy use of forest biomass in Zambia; however, there was a significant increase in publications during the 2010s, with the United States being the country with the most contributions (11 studies). It is concluded that spatial analyzes can contribute as a support tool for decision-makers, providing explicit guidance on costs, efficiency, and ideal locations for the use of forest bioelectricity.
