Marginal Generation Technology in the Chinese Power Market towards 2030 Based on Consequential Life Cycle Assessment
Electricity consumption is often the hotspot of life cycle assessment (LCA) of products, industrial activities, or services. The objective of this paper is to provide a consistent, scientific, region-specific electricity-supply-based inventory of electricity generation technology for national and regional power grids. Marginal electricity generation technology is pivotal in assessing impacts re...
متن کاملTowards A Conceptual Framework For Life Cycle Assessment In Sustainable Information Systems Management
Information Systems (IS) play an important role for the sustainable development of business organisations. New metrics and methodologies are required to explore the interactions between IS, organisations and the environment. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology already proved its ability to measure environmental impacts of complex systems in other industries. However, when trying to adop...
متن کاملConsequential Life Cycle Assessment of Nitrogen Fertilisers Based on Biomass – a Swedish perspective
The production of mineral nitrogen represents a large fossil energy input in Swedish agriculture. However, mineral nitrogen can be produced in the Haber-Bosch synthesis, with input from renewable energy. This could lower the dependency on fossil energy and the emissions of greenhouse gases in agricultural production. The aim of this study was to investigate the land use, energy use and greenhou...
متن کاملA Conceptual Framework for Smart Hospital towards Industry 4.0
Background: The fourth industrial revolution consists of combining network devices with cloud computing methods and analyzing large data and artificial intelligence, which makes it possible to call such an infrastructure smart. In a Smart Hospital, all things and devices are designed to be connected and integrated, thus achieving better patient care, increasing efficiency and reducing time wast...
متن کاملIntegrated Economic Equilibrium and Life Cycle Assessment Modeling for Policybased Consequential LCA
Consequential life cycle assessment (CLCA) has emerged as a tool for estimating environmental impacts of changes in product systems that go beyond physical relationships accounted for in attributional LCA (ALCA). This study builds on recent efforts to use more complex economic models for policy-based CLCA. A partial market equilibrium (PME) model, called the U.S. Forest Products Module (USFPM),...
