Carbon emissions and reduction performance of photovoltaic systems in China
Abstract Solar energy is an inexhaustible clean energy, which can be converted into electricity through photovoltaic (PV) modules. However, the production of these modules is a process of pollution, which will generate a large amount of carbon emissions. Therefore, investigating…
A holistic life cycle assessment of steel bridge deck pavement
Abstract Transportation serves as a cornerstone of economic development and is a significant contributor to carbon emissions. This study established a life cycle assessment model that incorporates refined carbon emission calculation parameters, streamlining the computation process while maintaining precision. A…
Comparative life cycle assessment of landfill gas utilization in South Korea with parametric uncertainties
Abstract Landfill gas, a major contributor to global CH4 emissions, which have a much greater impact on global warming than CO2 does, is inevitable as a waste derivative. Upcycling landfill gas into value-added products is a powerful strategy to reduce greenhouse gas…
