This secondary scientific research follows the modality of review through systematic literature (SLR) technique and aims to answer following question: What methods in use optimization techniques develop Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA)? The objective is identify map information, relate their applications, provide a critical analysis. was conducted global context, on April 2, 2022, wi...

Carbon dioxide removal options have been identified as key to achieving the climate change target laid out in 2015 Paris Agreement. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is particularly attractive because it capable of providing negative emissions a reliable energy source. We here explore complexity infrastructures involved realizing large-scale system sequestration potential bioene...

this paper presents the results obtained from the life cycle assessment (lca) of the productionof sicilian artichokes (cynara scolymus) with the aim of reducing impacts, interpreting the results, suggesting possible improvements and enriching the sustainability knowledge already existing in the agro food field. artichokes represent one of the excellent italian agricultural products even if stil...

urban sinks accumulate phosphorus and other elements and may serve as sources of secondaryraw materials. this paper evaluates phosphorus sources based on their environmental impact. in a life cycleassessment (lca) the conventional production was used as a yardstick against which tomeasure the performanceof two recycling options: spreading of sewage sludge and phosphorus recovery from municipal ...

magnetic levitation (maglev) is amongst the most advanced technologies that are available to the transportation industries. it has already been noticed by decision makers in many countries around the globe. contrary to such high levels of interest, there are no practical algorithms available to the engineers and/or managers to assist them in analyzing economics of the maglev systems. therefore,...

This paper presents a methodology to integrate life cycle assessment (LCA)in thermoeconomic models used for the optimal conceptual design of energy conversion systems. It is illustrated by an application to a thermo-economic model developed for the multi-objective optimization of combined synthetic natural gas (SNG) and electricity production from lignocellulosic biomass. The life cycle invento...
