Prospects of solar systems in production chain of sunflower oil using cold press method with concentrating energy and life cycle assessment University of Antwerp
Life Cycle Assessment of Nanotechnology in Batteries for Electric Vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Through the usage of life cycle assessment methods, two different battery systems are benchmarked. One is composed by traditional Li-ion NMC graphite cells and the other, Li-ion NMC silicon nanowire ones. Their characteristics are displayed and challenged throughout different impact categories, such as climate change, human toxicity, and cumulative energy demand. These impact categories highlight the damages provoked during manufacturing, ...
Production of chemicals and utilities in-house improves the environmental sustainability of phytoplankton-based biorefinery Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Life cycle assessment was used to evaluate the environmental impacts of phytoplanktonic biofuels as possible sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Three scenarios were examined for converting planktonic biomass into higher-value commodities and energy streams using the alga Scenedesmus sp. and the cyanobacterium Arthrospira sp. as the species of interest. The first scenario (Sc-1) involved the production of biodiesel and glycerol from the ...
