However, in many cases, this progress has been hampered by our dependency on critical materials or other resources that are often processed at high environmental burdens. Yet, many studies have shown that environmental and energy issues are strictly interconnected and require a comprehensive understanding of resource management strategies and their implications. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is among the most inclusive analytical techniques to analyze sustainability benefits and trade-offs within complex systems and, in this Special Issue, it is applied to assess the mutual influences of environmental and energy dimensions. The selection of original articles, reviews, and case studies addressed covers some of the main driving applications for energy requirements and greenhouse gas emissions, including power generation, bioenergy, biorefinery, building, and transportation. An insightful perspective on the current topics and technologies, and emerging research needs, is provided. Alone or in combination with integrative methodologies, LCA can be of pivotal importance and constitute the scientific foundation on which a full system understanding can be reached. 517 $aLife Cycle Assessment 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $alife cycle assessment 610 $aharmonization 610 $aphotovoltaic 610 $aperovskite solar cell 610 $amanufacturing process 610 $aenvironmental impact 610 $agreenhouse gas 610 $agasification 610 $aswine manure management 610 $aground-source heat pumps 610 $aspace conditioning 610 $aenvironmental sustainability 610 $alife cycle assessment (LCA) 610 $aphase-change material (PCM) 610 $aCED 610 $aEco-indicator 99 610 $aIPCC 610 $aLCA 610 $aphotovoltaics panels 610 $arecycling 610 $alandfill 610 $aembodied energy 610 $aembodied carbon 610 $alife-cycle embodied performance 610 $ametropolitan area 610 $ain-city 610 $atransport energy intensity 610 $awell to wheel 610 $amaterial structure 610 $aphotovoltaics 610 $awaste management 610 $aEROI 610 $anet energy 610 $aenergy scenario 610 $aenergy transition 610 $aelectricity 610 $agrid mix 610 $astorage 610 $adecarbonization 610 $abiofuel policy 610 $aGHG mitigation 610 $aenergy security 610 $aindirect land use change 610 $acarbon dioxide capture 610 $aactivated carbon 610 $aenvironmental impacts 610 $aLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) 610 $aMaterial Flow Analysis (MFA) 610 $aCriticality 610 $atraction batteries 610 $aforecast 610 $asupply 610 $aexergy 610 $asustainability 610 $areview 610 $abioenergy 610 $ageographic information system (GIS) 610 $aharvesting residues 610 $aenergy metrics 610 $aPHAs 610 $abio-based polymers 610 $abiodegradable plastics 610 $apyrolysis 610 $avolatile fatty acids 610 $aphase change materials 610 $aPCM 610 $athermal energy storage 610 $aStorage LCA Tool 610 $aSpeicher LCA 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aPassarini$b Fabrizio$4edt$01322919 702 $aCiacci$b Luca$4edt 702 $aPassarini$b Fabrizio$4oth 702 $aCiacci$b Luca$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557535503321 996 $aLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Environmental and Energy Systems$93035264 997 $aUNINA
