Life cycle assessment and economical valuation of a natural convection solar greenhouse dryer in Western Maharashtra, India

The current study focuses on the life cycle assessment and an economic valuation of a natural convection solar greenhouse dryer in Western Maharashtra, India. Solar Greenhouse Dryer is active device that gains radiation incident to surface along with wind energy, it removes moisture from agricultural yield. combination energy primarily used rural settings; hence, very important analyse environmental aspects associated obtain maximum benefit less investment possible. experiment involving was conducted at Bahe, Borgaon, Tal-Walwa, Dist- Sangli, India located 17.115o N 74.33o E. parameters taken into considerations during analysis covered payback time CO2 emissions, mitigation carbon credits earned by dryer. consists annual cost dryer, salvage value, saving obtained period respectively.
