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

Environmental, economic and socio-economic life cycle assessment of the Spanish electricity system
Cerrato M., (Corresponding) San Miguel G.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This paper investigates the sustainability of the Spanish electricity system under four different scenarios for 2030 and 2050 published by a reputable think tank assessing the Spanish Government. The analysis was performed using a life cycle approach and evaluates five sustainability indicators:...Read more
Environmental LCA and Carbon Footprint of Cauliflower as Produced in Southeast Spain
Rasines L., San Miguel G., Molina-García Á., Artés-Hernández F., Hontoria E., (Corresponding) Aguayo E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Southern Spain has an optimal climate for growing fruits and vegetables. Over 39,534 ha are currently dedicated to the production of cauliflower and broccoli in Spain, 33% of which correspond to the Region of Murcia. This type of intensive agriculture causes environmental impacts which must be...Read more
Environmental life cycle assessment of nectarine as produced in Southeast Spain
NÚÑEZ P., (Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., BAÑALES B., DIEZMA B., CORREA E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The aim of this work is to evaluate the environmental
performance of fruit production using Life Cycle Assessment considering the case study of nectarines produced in the Murcia Region (Southeast Spain). The investigation was carried out according to ISO 14040/14044 using a cradle to grave...Read more

Environmental and Economic Life Cycle Assessment of a Spanish whisky
Cely-Parra P., (Corresponding) San Miguel G., Beltrán M.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
A considerable literature has been dedicated to evaluating the carbon footprint of fermented beverages such as wine and beer. However, far fewer studies have been committed to assess the environmental and economic sustainability of spirit distillates. The aim of this paper was to compile a complete...Read more
