ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES: POTENTIAL FOR INPUT-OUTPUT AND SUPPLY-CHAIN ANALYSES IN IRAN

Product Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment Using Input-Output Techniques

Life-cycle assessment (LCA) facilitates a systems view in environmental evaluation of products, materials, and processes. Life-cycle assessment attempts to quantify environmental burdens over the entire life-cycle of a product from raw material extraction, manufacturing, and use to ultimate disposal. However, current methods for LCA suffer from problems of subjective boundary definition, inflex...

An Analysis of Environmental Effects of Energy Intensive Economic Activities in Khorasan Razavi Province: Using RAS Regional Input-Output Model

Energy is one of the main factors of production in various economic activities. The development of economic activities in different countries and regions leads to higher energy consumption and production of environmental pollutants. This study uses an Input-Output model based on the CHARM RAS method to investigate the role of economic activities in Khorasan Razavi province in the production of...

Economic Input-Output Models for Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment

Process and product models are commonly used for performing life-cycle assessments (LCAs) of the environmental impacts of materials and products through different stages of fabrication, use, and end-of-life options. In this article, we show that these models can be represented as process flow diagrams or as matrices of process interactions. In either representation, the inventory of environment...
