Chapter 1Importance of Life Cycle Assessment of Renewable Energy Sources

Singh, Anoop; Olsen, Stig Irving; Pant, Deepak

Pages: 1 –11

[The increasing demand for sustainable renewable energy sources to reduce the pollution and dependency on conventional energy resources creates a path to assess the various energy sources for their sustainability. One renewable energy source might be very attractive for heat production and not so...

Chapter 2Key Issues in Conducting Life Cycle Assessment of Bio-Based Renewable Energy Sources

Wiloso, Edi Iswanto; Heijungs, Reinout

Pages: 13 –36

[Although there is an ISO-standardized method for conducting life cycle assessment (LCA) studies, its application to renewable energy sources, in particular to bio-based renewable energy (bioenergy) involving agricultural chains, is not straight forward. There are theoretical and practical issues...

Chapter 3The Application of Life Cycle Assessment on Agricultural Production Systems with Reference to Lignocellulosic Biogas and Bioethanol Production as Transport Fuels

Korres, Nicholas E.

Pages: 37 –78

[ The need for new approaches in agricultural production such as these of integrated agricultural systems for food and energy production necessitates the rapprochement of these systems in terms of their environmental burden. This in combination with the importance of lignocellulosic materials for...

Chapter 4Life-Cycle Assessment of Biomethane from Lignocellulosic Biomass

Nizami, Abdul-Sattar; Ismail, Iqbal Mohammed

Pages: 79 –94

[This chapter evaluates the life-cycle assessment (LCA) studies of biomethane produced from lignocellulosic biomass as a biofuel and it is released into the environment in comparison with other bioenergy systems. A case study of grass biomethane that is produced by anaerobic digestion (AD) of...

Chapter 5Life Cycle Assessment of Biodiesel from Palm Oil

Lee, Keat Teong; Ofori-Boateng, Cynthia

Pages: 95 –129

[Though the energy balance for the cultivation of oil palm biomass for biodiesel production is positive, current debate has been raised on its environmental sustainability due to the high consumption of fossil fuel, fertilizer, and pesticides. This chapter employs the well-to-wheel variant of...

Chapter 6Environmental Sustainability Assessment of Ethanol from Cassava and Sugarcane Molasses in a Life Cycle Perspective

Gheewala, Shabbir H.

Pages: 131 –143

[Liquid transportation fuels derived from biomass (biofuels) are widely promoted inter alia due to their perceived environmental benefits. The environmental sustainability of biofuels, however, must be rigorously tested using scientific tools. Several such tools, namely net energy ratio (NER),...

Chapter 7Comparison of Algal Biodiesel Production Pathways Using Life Cycle Assessment Tool

Singh, Anoop; Olsen, Stig Irving

Pages: 145 –168

[The consideration of algal biomass in biodiesel production increased very rapidly in the last decade. A life cycle assessment (LCA) study is presented to compare six different biodiesel production pathways (three different harvesting techniques, i.e., aluminum as flocculent, lime flocculent, and...

Chapter 8Sustainability of (H2 + CH4) by Anaerobic Digestion via EROI Approach and LCA Evaluations

Ruggeri, B.; Sanfilippo, S.; Tommasi, T.

Pages: 169 –194

[The contents of this Chapter focus on the theoretical sustainable energy approach and its application to hydrogen and methane production, on the basis of results obtained from experimental tests on the Anaerobic Digestion (AD) technology. The evaluation of sustainability is pursued through the...
LitStream

Chapter 9Life-Cycle Assessment of Wind Energy

Martínez Cámara, E.; Jiménez Macías, E.; Blanco Fernández, J.

Pages: 195 –209

[This chapter looks at wind power from the viewpoint of life-cycle assessment (LCA). Such analyses have, of course, been conducted at various times throughout the development of wind power, and their results have varied as the designs and main characteristics of wind turbines have evolved. For...

Chapter 10Comparing Various Indicators for the LCA of Residential Photovoltaic Systems

Laleman, Ruben; Albrecht, Johan; Dewulf, Jo

Pages: 211 –239

[This chapter presents a broad environmental evaluation of residential Photovoltaic (PV) systems. It focuses mainly on how variations in irradiation levels, assessment methodology, and the lifetime of the solar panel influence the perception regarding its sustainability. Data from the Ecoinvent...
