Governments are setting challenging targets to increase the
production of energy and transport fuel from sustainable sources.
The emphasis is increasingly on renewable sources including wind,
solar, geothermal, biomass based biofuel, photovoltaics or energy
recovery from waste. What are the environmental consequences of
adopting these other sources? How do these various sources compare
to each other? Life Cycle Assessment of Renewable Energy Sources
tries to answer these questions based on the universally adopted
method of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This book introduces the
concept and importance of LCA in the framework of renewable energy
sources and discusses the key issues in conducting their LCA. This
is followed by an in-depth discussion of LCA for some of the most
common bioenergy sources such as agricultural production systems
for biogas and bioethanol, biogas from grass, biodiesel from palm
oil, biodiesel from used cooking oil and animal fat, Jatropha
biodiesel, lignocellulosic bioethanol, ethanol from cassava and
sugarcane molasses, residential photovoltaic systems, wind energy,
microalgal biodiesel, biohydrogen and biomethane. Through real
examples, the versatility of LCA is well emphasized. Written by
experts all over the globe, the book is a cornucopia of information
on LCA of bioenergy systems and provides a platform for stimulation
of new ideas and thoughts. The book is targeted at practitioners of
LCA and will become a useful tool for researchers working on
different aspects of bioenergy.
