This study presents a state of the art several studies dealing with environmental impact assessment fuel cell (FC) vehicles and comparison their conventional fossil-fuelled counterparts, by means Life Cycle As-sessment (LCA) methodology. Results declare that, depending on systems characteristics, there are numerous envi-ronmental advantages, but also some disadvantages can be expected. In addition, significance manufac-turing process FC, more specifically Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel...
Renewable energy and efficiency terms are the focus of policymakers to achieve a sustainable policy. The concept sustainability has become key element in development renewable technologies, so both quantitative qualitative assessments essential consider environmental socioeconomic impacts. This study presents results applying different methodologies assess solar where importance this type analysis is highlighted support decision-makers.
Oil hydrotreating units in refineries are aimed at reducing the sulfur content of fuels to accomplish standard par-ticular specifications. However, this process is currently one best available technologies produce biofuels from vegetable oil a refinery. Vegetable oils can be processed or co-processed these if several adaptations performed, so some properties could improved comparison with conventional fuel such as density and cetane number. This study highlights theoretical greenhouse gases...
Abstract The aim of this paper is to identify areas potential improvement the European Reference Life Cycle Database (ELCD) electricity datasets. revision based on data quality indicators described by International Data system (ILCD) Handbook, applied sectorial basis. These evaluate technological, geographical and time-related representativeness dataset appropriateness in terms completeness, precision methodology. Results show that ELCD datasets have a very good general terms, nevertheless...
Under the framework of European Platform on Life Cycle Assessment, Reference Life-Cycle Database (ELCD - developed by Joint Research Centre Commission), provides core Inventory (LCI) data from front-running EU-level business associations and other sources. The ELCD contains energy-related power fuels. This study describes methods to be used for quality analysis energy markets (available in third-party LC databases authoritative sources) that are, or could be, context ELCD. methodology was...
The maintenance and rehabilitation of roads is becoming a key challenge in the pavement industry to decrease consumption natural resources. Microwave-assisted self-healing technology extends life-service asphalt pavements for reducing need fossil fuels over its lifespan saving use This technique takes advantage thermoplastic dielectric properties mixtures that allows cracks be closed, hence, heal restore mechanical behaviour without implementing more invasive traditional operations like...
A sustainability assessment regarding the manufacturing process and use of a new proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), specially designed for portable hydrogen applications, is presented. The initial prototype has been configured by taking into account exclusively technical issues. However, life cycle analysis considering environmental socioeconomic impacts crucial to improve model develop more sustainable product. From perspective, durability system its efficiency are key elements...
Abstract Novel renewable energy technologies in the Middle East and North Africa region can be developed through microgeneration systems aiming to supply local demands a sustainable way. In this study, we carried out sustainability assessment combining two reputable methodologies which have been applied facility comprising hybrid solar/biomass micro‐cogeneration organic ranking cycle system located Morocco. We first multiregional input–output analysis where economic issues such as production...
Authorised treatment facilities (ATFs) play a key role in the process undergone by vehicles when they reach their end of life (EoL) within context Directive 2000/53/EC. Whenever an EoL vehicle is received at ATF, certificate destruction issued. The continues with depollution hazardous waste materials from and dismantling parts that will be reused or recycled. Finally, remaining are transported to shredding plant.Directive 2000/53/EC sets number environmental goals regarding reuse recycling...
