A Life Cycle Assessment of the Cotton Textile Chain
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic evaluation of the potential environmental impact and resource utilization of a product from raw material through disposal. Underlying the LCA is the Life Cycle Inventory or LCI, a quantification of energy and material inputs and environmental release or emissions data associated with product creation and use. The primary purpose of this project was to...
متن کاملA Value Chain and Life-Cycle Assessment Approach to Identify Technological Innovation Opportunities in Algae Biodiesel
Algae biodiesel is an opportunity space that has gained renewed interest for venture investment. As with any new opportunity space, determining where the greatest value capturing potential resides has important implications for directing investment and research. This paper presents a value chain analysis of algae biodiesel and maps current industry players against similar segments in the biofue...
متن کاملA Classroom Simulation to Teach Economic InputOutput Life Cycle Assessment
Life cycle assessment (LCA) methods and tools are increasingly being taught in university courses. Students are learning the concepts and applications of process-based LCA, input−output-based LCA, and hybrid methods. Here, we describe a classroom simulation to introduce students to an economic input−output life cycle assessment (EIO-LCA) method. The simulation uses a simplified four-industry ec...
