The role of Life Cycle Assessment to measure progress on the Circular Economy
(Corresponding) Corona B., Shen L.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The circular economy (CE), as opposed to the current linear economy, is seen as a sustainable economic system where the economic growth is decoupled from the resources use, through the reduction and recirculation of natural resources. In the shift towards the CE, quantifying the circularity of...Read more
Early-stage LCA of a novel fuel flexible CHP technology based on biomass gasification and a SOFC
Moretti C., Rühlin V., (Corresponding) Corona B.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
To mitigate climate change and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, more efficient energy production is necessary. Combined heat and power systems (CHPs) are a key technology to reach such an objective, due to its higher energy efficiency than the separate production of heat and electricity...Read more

Rubio-Sánchez M., (Corresponding) San Miguel G.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This investigation describes de material, energy and monetary inventories required to evaluate the environmental and economic performance of Brussel sprouts produced in Mexico and consumed in the USA. This data was supplied by a company operating in Mexico as a first step in the production of a LCA...Read more
Environmental and Economic LCI of a micro-CPV module
ABAD D., (Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., DOMÍNGUEZ C., JOST N., GUTIÉRREZ F.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Despite the renewable nature of solar energy, the sustainability of photovoltaic (PV) systems needs to be evaluated in order to minimize adverse environmental impacts and optimize economic performance. This piece of research represents a first approach to produce an environmental and economic...Read more
Cırcular Economy And Lıfe Cycle Assessment For Wıne Sector
(Corresponding) Matarazzo A., Villari E., Spadaro G., Vazzano A., Zerbo A.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Wine production contributes to a variety of environmental loads, mainly due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides in the vineyard and to the production of glass bottles. Sicily, in particular, holds the record for the major production of wine in the South of Italy, favored by pedoclimatic...Read more
