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

Novel technologies & methods for Lithium batteries expansion of life cycle
VLACHOU K., (Corresponding) KONDILI E., KALDELLIS J.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The technology of Lithium batteries is nowadays greatly developing, as they are an efficient mean of energy storage. Their main use is in electric and electronic devices. Moreover after 2010, these batteries are also used in the development of electric vehicles, an industrial sector which has a...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

Life cycle assessment of the use of biomass as energy source in Northern Greece
Dounavis A., Karamanos L., Lekkas D., (Corresponding) Klontza E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Decrease of fossil fuel consumption in the energy sector is an important step towards more sustainable energy production. On the other hand, domestic and imported biomass or biofuels which are used as energy sources play an important role in many future energy scenarios and national policies...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
Livestock Greenhouse Gases emissions and its contribution to Climate Change. The case study of a Cyprus cow farm
LOIZIA P., (Corresponding) VOUKKALI I., ZORPAS A.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Human population is expected to increase from 7.8 to 9.4 billion by 2050. At the same time the demand for agricultural products will increase by about 50-70%. As a result, there is a growing awareness that rapid growth in global production and consumption of livestock products is contributing to...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

Life-Cycle-Oriented Framework for Seaport Infrastructure Maintenance and Climate Change Adaptation
(Corresponding) Tsaimou C., Chalastani V., Tsoukala V.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Life-cycle considerations are a prerequisite for rational seaport engineering design and planning since they actually retain seaports’ resilience and operational effectiveness. However, the current climate crisis poses threats to the resilience of existing seaport infrastructure, leading to...Read more
