The photovoltaic (PV) sector has undergone both major expansion and evolution over the last decades, currently, technologies already marketed or still in laboratory/research phase are numerous very different. Likewise, order to assess energy environmental impacts of these devices, life cycle assessment (LCA) studies related systems always increasing. objective this paper is summarize update current literature LCA applied different types grid-connected PV, as well critically analyze results...
Traction batteries are a key factor in the environmental sustainability of electric mobility and, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate their performance allow comprehensive assessment mobility. This article presents an lithium-ion traction battery for plug-in hybrid vehicles, characterized by composite cathode material lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) and nickel cobalt Li(NixCoyMn1-x-y)O2. Composite emerging technology that promises combine merits several active materials into electrode...
In light of growing concerns regarding greenhouse gas emissions and the increasingly severe impacts climate change, global situation demands immediate action to transition towards sustainable energy solutions. this sense, hydrogen could play a fundamental role in transition, offering potential clean versatile carrier. This paper reviews recent results Life Cycle Assessment studies different production pathways, which are trying define routes that can guarantee least environmental burdens....
Summary This article examines methods for analyzing allocation in life cycle assessment (LCA); it focuses on comparisons of economic with other feasible alternatives. The International Organization Standardization's (ISO) guideline 14044 indicates that should only be used as a last resort, when are not suitable. However, the LCA literature reports several examples use allocation. is due partly to its simplicity and ability illustrate properties complex systems. Sometimes price summarizes...
