Emergy Analysis and Sustainability Efficiency Analysis of Different Crop-Based Biodiesel in Life Cycle Perspective
Biodiesel as a promising alternative energy resource has been a hot spot in chemical engineering nowadays, but there is also an argument about the sustainability of biodiesel. In order to analyze the sustainability of biodiesel production systems and select the most sustainable scenario, various kinds of crop-based biodiesel including soybean-, rapeseed-, sunflower-, jatropha- and palm-based bi...
متن کاملDealing with Emergy Algebra in the Life Cycle Assessment Framework
Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) represents one of the four steps of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, which is a standardized procedure (ISO 14040:2006) to estimate the environmental impacts generated by the production, use and delivery of goods and services and final waste disposal. The calculation of emergy using LCI databases is acknowledged to be of great advantage to improve the accu...
متن کاملEmergy Assessment for Urban Sustainable Development
This paper is a study of the use of emergy indices for the evaluation of sustainable urban development. The Emergy Exchange Ratio (EER) and Emergy Waste Index (EWI) were introduced into the Emergy Sustainability Index (ESI) to establish a new index that reflects the emergy benefit per unit cost of environmental impact, which includes the market exchange and pollution/waste flow in the measureme...
متن کاملInvestigation on life cycle assessment of lead and zinc production
Lead and zinc production is one of the main predisposing factors of excessive greenhouse gases emissions, air pollution and water consumption. In this paper, the environmental problems of lead and zinc production in Calcimin plant are expressed and life cycle assessment of this plant is assessed. The data regarding the amount of induced global warming and pollution, acidification, and depletion...
متن کاملNew Concept in Leanness Development and Assessment in Plant Life Cycle (PLC)
Abstract: At the last decade of the 20th century, Womack et. Al introduced Lean concept to the industrial world. Since 1990 up to now, existed studies mostly have focused on lean production in the step of manufacturing, but in this research leanness concept has developed in the plant life cycle. In this paper leanness concept will be described as elimination of wastes in the phases of investmen...
