The carbon emissions ( carbon footprint ) produced by biofuels are calculated using a technique called Life Cycle Analysis ( LCA ).
22.
Therefore, the thermal efficiency of the engine is increased in accordance with the vapour power cycle analysis of the second law of thermodynamics.
23.
However full Life Cycle Analysis has shown that poplars are lower impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions for energy production than alternatives.
24.
Increasing awareness of the Life Cycle Analysis technique would allow companies as well as individuals to consider multiple options for a new product.
25.
Resource recovery ( as opposed to waste management ) uses LCA ( life cycle analysis ) attempts to offer alternatives to waste management.
26.
In life-cycle analysis ( LCA ) from the 1990s, the energy payback time had often been cited to be as high as 10 years.
27.
Life cycle analysis can provide a fuller picture of the extent alternative fuel sources reduce emissions and overall environmental impact compared to conventional fuels.
28.
The surveys and assessments produced by AquaFUELs will address the full life cycle analysis-from collection to fuel use-in terms of environmental, economic and social sustainability.
29.
Life-cycle assessment ( LCA or life cycle analysis ) is a technique used to assess potential environmental impacts of a product at different stages of its life.
30.
Initial life cycle analysis indicates that distributed production can have a smaller impact on the environment than conventional manufacturing and shipping because of reductions in transportation embodied energy.
