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: generalbicsscactivated carbonallocationBagnore power plantbattery electric vehicle (BEV)biomasscarbon capture economycarbon dioxide capturecarbon footprintCHPcoalbed methane developmentdecentralized energy systemdistance-to-target weightinge-wasteeco-indicator 99ecological scarcityelectricityemploymentenergyenvironmental impactsexergyflash technologygas/oil-fired boilersgasificationgeothermal energygreenhouse gas (GHG) emissionsIGCCLCALCOElife cycle assessmentlife cycle impact assessmentmatter-element extension methodmultifunctionalitypedigree matrixplug-in electric vehicleprecious metal recoveryprinted circuit boardrenewable electricity and heat generationrenewablesrisk assessmentsecondary copper smeltingSimaProSOFCSpainstirling cycle-based heat pumpstructural entropy weight methodsustainabilitythermodynamic modelingResearch & information: generalMiguel Guillermo Sanedt1278415Alvarez SergioedtMiguel Guillermo SanothAlvarez SergioothBOOK9910557749203321Life Cycle Assessment of Energy Systems3013240UNINA
