Life Cycle Assessment of Renewable-based Power Plants
Addressing the existing gaps in environmental assessments of combined renewable power cycles, an area that hasn't received widespread attention from other researchers.
This project addresses the existing gaps in environmental assessments of combined renewable power cycles, an area that hasn't received widespread attention from other researchers.
Shifting towards integrated renewable-based power plants aligns with government priorities to reduce the carbon footprint in the electricity generation sector and reduce the reliance on polluting fuels.
Using a comparative life cycle assessment of three different combined power plants, this study pioneers the evaluation of an innovative solar-based unit combined with wind and geothermal systems from an environmental perspective, assessing its potential for future commercialization.
This project is funded by Research England within the (SYSC).
