Comparison of life cycle assessment tools for road pavement infrastructure
Road pavements have considerable environmental burdens associated with their initial construction, maintenance and usage, which has led the pavement stakeholder community make congregate efforts to better understand and mitigate these negative effects. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a versatile methodology to quantify the effect of decisions regarding the selection of resources and processes. H...
متن کاملConducting an Agricultural Life Cycle Assessment: Challenges and Perspectives
Agriculture is a diverse field that produces a wide array of products vital to society. As global populations continue to grow the competition for natural resources will increase pressure on agricultural production of food, fiber, energy, and various high value by-products. With elevated concerns related to environmental impacts associated with the needs of a growing population, a life cycle as...
متن کاملLife cycle assessment of domestic and agricultural rainwater harvesting systems.
To further understanding of the environmental implications of rainwater harvesting and its water savings potential relative to conventional U.S. water delivery infrastructure, we present a method to perform life cycle assessment of domestic rainwater harvesting (DRWH) and agricultural rainwater harvesting (ARWH) systems. We also summarize the design aspects of DRWH and ARWH systems adapted to t...
متن کاملAgricultural data for Life Cycle Assessments
On a world scale, a net transport of P to the oceans occurs, maintained by weathering of minerals and by erosion. The soil plays a different role regarding phosphorus in different agricultural systems. Without adding fertilisers, a soil can supply P for a limited time, by weathering or by mineralisation of indigenous organic matter. When a higher productivity is aimed at, fertilisers have to be...
متن کاملIII Agricultural data for life cycle assessments
An inventory for Life Cycle Analysis of agricultural products must address questions of representatively and coherence of models. This paper discusses the possibilities of modelling the input and production of typical farms to establish inventories that are consistent with higher level statistical information. Energy use has been modelled for typical Danish farms and compared with the national ...
