These include battery-based and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, geothermal energy, hydropower, biomass gasification, national electricity systems, and waste incineration. The analysis of trends and singularities will be invaluable to product designers, engineers, and policy makers. Furthermore, these exercises also contribute to refining the life cycle framework and harmonizing methodological decisions. Our hope is that this should be a step toward promoting the use of science and knowledge to shape a better world for everyone.Research & information: generalbicssclife cycle assessmentbattery electric vehicle (BEV)plug-in electric vehicleenergygreenhouse gas (GHG) emissionsthermodynamic modelingexergye-wastesecondary copper smeltingprecious metal recoveryprinted circuit boardcoalbed methane developmentrisk assessmentstructural entropy weight methodmatter-element extension methodLCASpainrenewableselectricitysustainabilitycarbon footprintemploymentLCOECHPbiomassgasificationSOFCallocationmultifunctionalitygeothermal energyflash technologyBagnore power plantpedigree matrixcarbon dioxide captureactivated carbonenvironmental impactsIGCCcarbon capture economystirling cycle-based heat pumpgas/oil-fired boilersSimaProeco-indicator 99life cycle impact assessmentdistance-to-target weightingecological scarcityrenewable electricity and heat generationdecentralized energy systemResearch & information: generalMiguel Guillermo Sanedt1278415Alvarez SergioedtMiguel Guillermo SanothAlvarez SergioothBOOK9910557749203321Life Cycle Assessment of Energy Systems3013240UNINA
