Conventional and organic rice production in Northern Italy: What is the (environmentally) best?
(Corresponding) Jacopo B., Luigi O., Marco P., Alessia C.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Italy is the most important European rice producer with about 230000 ha. Over the years the area dedicated to organic rice production is rapidaly growing.
In this study, using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, the environmental performances of rice production in Italy considering both...Read more

Methodology development for implementing Life Cycle Analysis of energy production in the Czech Republic
(Corresponding) Zakuciova K., Štefanica J., Šerešová M., Kočí V., Zdeněk V., Vitvarová M., Jan O.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Energy mix of the Czech Republic includes various types of fossil energy sources, which currently do not have comprehensive methodology for assessing their environmental impacts. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is important tool for assessing such impacts through the whole life cycle of the sources...Read more

Energy and environmental aspects of distributed generation and electric-vehicle integration from a LCA perspective. A case study in Mendoza, Argentina
(Corresponding) Arena A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The energy sector is moving from a rigid, concentrated system towards a flexible, decentralized one enabling the exchange of energy between many actors. Distributed renewable energy generation is a key player in this new system, offering many advantages, but their intermittent character and the...Read more

Regional Variability and Future Trends in Carbon Footprints of Electric Vehicles in China based on THEMIS Model
(Corresponding) Hertwich E., Wu Z., Wolfram P., (Corresponding) Wang C., Sun X., Sun F.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This study analyses how carbon footprints of electric vehicles (EVs) in China vary across regions and how they may evolve with power decarbonisation. It is understood that carbon footprints of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) depend largely on electricity mixes, but few studies have quantified...Read more

Approaches to tackle emerging challenges in European aquaculture
(Corresponding) Jacopo B., Federico H., Davide F., Marco P.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The word demand for fish is increasing. Whilst on one hand, fishing is carried out in a not sustainable ways in the main fishing areas (e.g., overexploitation of natural stocks, remarkable fuel and energy consumption), on the other hand, acquaculture, above all when not performed inland, involves...Read more
Life Cycle Assessment of Cheese in Terms of Climate Change
(Corresponding) Dagiliūtė R., Minkevičiūtė I., Dikšaitytė A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Milk products are important sources of nutrients in the human diet; however, they have a significant impact on the environment, particularly because of the greenhouse gases that are generated during the production of these products. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of life cycle of...Read more

SUITABLE PRACTICES OF DESIGN AND REPAIRMENT FOR REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF SMARTPHONES
(Corresponding) Perula A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Nowadays, smartphones are one of the most common devices in developed countries, as most citizens are owners of at least one. However, smartphone’s average lifetime is reported to be between 2 and 3 years by many studies, and the environmental impact of manufacturing, using and disposing of these...Read more

Life cycle assessment of microalgal membrane photobioreactors
Senatore V., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Lazzarini F., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The exploration of new biomass sources for energy purposes is increasing. Cultivation of algal biomass for biofuels production through photobioreactor represents an attractive and useful way to obtain clean energy, also thanks to the contribution that the system makes on the reduction of climate...Read more
