The environmental performance of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is influenced by their size and charging electricity source. Therefore, assessing should consider changes in the sector refurbishment batteries. This study conducts a scenario-based Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) three different scenarios combining four key parameters: future mix, efficiency fade, refurbishment, recycling for collective importance on life-cycle BEV. system boundary covers all stages BEV includes except its second...
This paper introduces a Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA) on present and future scenarios of different energy storage technologies comprising hydrogen batteries: Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), Hydrogen (H2ESS), Hybrid (HESS). These three configurations were assessed for time horizons: 2019, 2022 2030, under both on-grid off-grid conditions. For sensitivity analysis was performed, covering other trends in electric consumption prices, CO2 taxation the evolution technology prices from...
The development of renewable drop-in diesel fuels is essential for decarbonizing the diesel-dominated heavy-duty fleet in short to medium term. Therefore, project 'Robust and Efficient processes technologies Drop In FUELs road transport' (REDIFUEL), developed a novel fuel production technology. fuel, named REDIFUEL, consists mixture high-cetane hydrocarbons C6-C11 alcohols. This work presents complete well-to-wheel environmental assessment REDIFUEL use mild hybrid plug-in long haul trucks...
Microalgae have been reported as a promising alternative for biofuels production. However, the use of microalgae is still challenge due to intense energy and generation significant amount biomass residues in process. In order analyze environmental impacts different technological processes production biodiesel from microalgae, several studies published making Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, which allows recognition process bottlenecks supports identification alternatives more...
Decentralized energy systems enable a higher integration of electricity generation by renewable sources supported electric storage and may significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions for generation. While the environmental impact single technologies has received great attention in recent years, impacts decentralized remain unaddressed. This study presents cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment those Belgium 2030 2050. The system comprise single-Si photovoltaic installations combined with...
Recent works have highlighted the interconnected impacts of stratospheric ozone depletion, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and climate change on various sectors, including water quality, agriculture, human health, biodiversity. Increased UV-B exposure has diverse environmental impacts, potential benefits like enhanced plant resistance reduced vitamin D deficiency. However, quantification these effects remains incomplete. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) serves to quantify product systems. This...
This dataset provides the latest characterization factors for ozone depletion based on most recent potentials from 2022 World Meteorological Organization (WMO) scientific assessment. These can be used in life cycle assessment (LCA) to convert emissions of ozone-depleting substances common unit impact category, measured kg CFC-11-eq. The is formatted easy import into LCA software such as Brightway, Activity Browser, and SimaPro. are provided both 100-year infinite time horizons. addresses...
Road transport significantly contributes to climate change and air pollution. Efforts reduce sector emissions include deploying battery electric vehicles designing their powertrains for improved performance. The European H2020 funded Functionally Integrated E-axle Ready Mass Market Third GENeration Electric Vehicles (FITGEN) developed a novel functionally integrated e-axle (the FITGEN e-axle) vehicles. This paper presents the environmental performance of e-axle. Using Life Cycle Assessment...
