At a technology level, significant efforts have been made to provide energy solutions that contribute to a sustainable energy system. However, the actual suitability of these solutions is often not checked. In this sense, the assessment of energy systems from a life-cycle perspective is of paramount importance when it comes to effectively planning the energy sector. While environmental issues are commonly addressed through the use of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, the comprehensive evaluation of the economic and social aspects of energy systems often remains ignored or underdeveloped. This book consists of a set of scientific works addressing the analysis of energy systems from a (life-cycle) technical, economic, environmental and/or social standpoint. Case studies at and beyond the technology level are included, some of them involving a combination of life cycle and non-life cycle approaches for the thorough evaluation of energy systems under the umbrella of sustainability.Research & information: generalbicsscactivated Carbons (ACs)adsorbatealternativebiobutanolbioeconomybuilding energy simulationclean combustionCO2 emissionconcentrated solar powercost supplydistrict heating systemelectrowinning (EW)energy renovationenergy system optimizationenvironmental impactfuel production managementgeographical potentialGIShistoric building districtLCC optimizationlife cycle assessmentlife-cycle costsliquid phase space velocity (LHSV)multi-criteria decision analysisnon-edible resources for biofuel productionScilab simulationsSimaProsolar thermochemistrysustainabilitysustainabletemperaturethermal energywoodzinc (Zn)Research & information: generalIribarren Diegoedt1291784Iribarren DiegoothBOOK9910557295903321Advances in Environmental, Economic and Social Assessment of Energy Systems3021917UNINA
