Self-consumption and self-sufficiency of the Swiss residential stock: Building archetypes for simulation of positive energy districts
Developed 11,200 residential archetypes to analyze positive energy districts (PED). • PER, SSR and SCR are assessed under various electrification scenarios. • Overall, HPs and EVs increase SCR but significantly reduce SSR, especially in MFHs. • PED must account for temporal variation and building types to increase SCR and SSR. • Pathways on PED deployment depending on electrification and building characteristics. The concept of Positive Energy Di…
Novel integrated agricultural land management approach provides sustainable biomass feedstocks for bioplastics and supports the UK’s ‘net-zero’ target
We investigate the potential in producing biodegradable bio-plastics to support the emergent ‘net-zero’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets in the UK. A ‘cradle to grave’ life cycle assessment was developed to evaluate GHG mitigation potentials of bio-based polybutylene succinate plastics produced from wheat straw-only (single feedstock) or wheat straw plus Miscanthus (mixed feedstocks) agricultural supply systems. For scenarios using mixed fe…
Final Energy Requirements of Steam for Use in Environmental Life Cycle Assessment
Steam is an important utility that is required in nearly all industrial process chains and hence needs to be modeled in life cycle assessment studies. Industrial steam systems are often very complex, with different steam flows varying in pressure and temperature and being transported over different distances. This should be accounted for when calculating the energy requirements related to steam supply. In this article, we constructed a generic mo…
Increasing Precision in Greenhouse Gas Accounting Using Real‐Time Emission Factors: A Case Study of Electricity in Spain
For many companies, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their purchased and consumed electricity form one of the largest contributions to the GHG emissions that result from their activities. Currently, hourly variations in electricity grid emissions are not considered by standard GHG accounting protocols, which apply a national grid emission factor (EF), potentially resulting in erred estimates for the GHG emissions. In this study,…
A Review of the Environmental Impacts of Biobased Materials
Concerns over climate change and the security of industrial feedstock supplies have been opening a growing market for biobased materials. This development, however, also presents a challenge to scientists, policy makers, and industry because the production of biobased materials requires land and is typically associated with adverse environmental effects. This article addresses the environmental impacts of biobased materials in a meta‐analysis of …
