Calcium looping is a promising thermochemical energy storage process to be integrated into concentrating solar power plants. This work develops for the first time comprehensive life cycle assessment of calcium integration in plants assess potential technology from an environmental perspective. Two representative integrations are analysed, representing daily (hot) and seasonal (cold) designs. Similar performance impacts observed both, with slightly better results case due simplified...
Resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution associated with production, consumption, disposal of plastics demand solutions. Material circularity is presented as a key strategy to address this problem. However, comprehensive study these systems needed determine whether it possible completely close the material loop. When evaluating recycling strategy, essential consider conservation mass in cycle quality. In sense, substitutability concept that measures ability recycled...
Abstract This study examines how water is used in lemon production Argentina under varying climate conditions. paper describes methods for estimating lemons' footprint (WF), emphasizing their relevance modern times. The uses CLIMWAT 2.0 and CROPWAT 8.0 software a local weather database. WF of was estimated at 184.99 m 3 /t rainfed conditions 174.79 irrigation. analysis accounts all life cycle stages includes green, blue grey components. Lemon juice concentration impacts values. Fertigation...
This article evaluates the environmental performance of tomato production in Mendoza (Argentina) using two methodologies that share same approach and part inventory: i) Life Cycle Analysis, a method considers all flows (incoming outgoing) involved life cycle product, ii) Emergetic which represents support provided directly indirectly by biosphere to economic processes form resources ecosystem services. The combined application these tools helps identify critical points system generate...
The emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) generated from landfill biogas causes critical environmental and social issues. However, efficiently capturing using can reduce its impact. In the metropolitan area Mendoza, around 1,300 tons municipal solid waste (MSW) are daily, 65% it goes to El Borbollón landfill. aim this study was present results implementing first hybrid system for electricity generation solar energy in a This alternative solution allows responsible management MSW diversifies...
The aim of this study is to determine the impact potential land use on biotic production and climate regulation in agricultural phase a product, taking into account varied soil crop management. Land occupation transformation impacts soybean Argentina for different systems are evaluated. results indicate that magnitude considerably reduced by implementing no-tillage instead conventional tillage. Nevertheless, methodologies adopted unable show any expected differences between rainfed or...
In the next 10 years, cities will house 60% of world's population, where in agro-urban frontier territories, mainly semiarid regions, problems associated with land use and water distribution arise. Therefore, a model growth that contemplates lowest resources must be proposed. The aim this study is to determine environmental impact agro-services territories regions three urban scenarios, linear circular systems. focused on Luján de Cuyo Mendoza, Argentina. Through life cycle assessment,...
Urban agriculture, the production of food within city limits, stands as a potential alternative for establishing new and resilient system. It is expected to address global challenges such climate change, urban vulnerability, security. While numerous studies exist in this field, comprehensive scientific understanding coupled with connection sustainable development crucially needed. Therefore, review focuses on present state methodology life cycle assessment evaluate sustainability...
