Article Synopsis
- Climate change and resource limitations necessitate a shift towards more sustainable and circular economic practices in industries, particularly in biomass-based energy supply chains.
- This study presents a new assessment tool that combines multi-criteria decision-making with life cycle thinking to evaluate the sustainability and circularity of five alternatives in these supply chains.
- The findings reveal that the extended use of digestate is the most sustainable and circular option, whereas carbon capture for microalgae cultivation is the least effective, highlighting how decision makers' priorities can affect rankings of alternatives.
A review on life cycle environmental impacts of emerging solar cells.
Sci Total Environ
January 2024
The development of solar technologies requires increased efficiency in converting solar radiation to energy, as well as innovative materials and structure to go beyond the conventional power conversion ratio. In line with these innovations, there are concerns about greenhouse gas emissions of the solar cells, materials for the solar technologies and other relevant environmental impacts of the manufacturing processes. This review is conducted on life cycle assessments of solar cells, considering the climate change and natural resource shortage context.
