An integrated techno-economic and life cycle environmental assessment of power-to-gas systems (2017, methodology): “1 is used to as the background database [45, 46] for electricity supplies,”
Life cycle assessment of onshore and offshore wind energy-from theory to application (2016, result): “For comparison, in Denmark, climate change impacts from fossil sources amount to 990 g CO2-eq/kWh for coal and 530 g CO2-eq/kWh for natural gas [58] which are thus approximately 100 times higher than the results.”
The ecoinvent database version 3 (part II): analyzing LCA results and comparison to version 2 (2016, background): “New electricity datasets make up a large share of new datasets across all continents, as shown in Table 3 (Treyer and Bauer 2013, 2014).”
The ecoinvent database version 3 (part I): overview and methodology (2016, background): “…in the product system; we believe that only in rare cases do the number of unit processes modeled explicitly in the foreground system exceed 5 %, for example in large-scale studies of the energy sector (Hertwich et al. 2014; Laurent and Espinosa 2015; Treyer and Bauer 2013; Treyer et al. 2014).”
High-resolution large-scale onshore wind energy assessments: A review of potential definitions, methodologies and future research needs (2021, unknown): “…acknowledged that the environmental footprint of onshore wind power e quan-ti ﬁ ed by means of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) e is very small in comparison to other electricity generation technologies [227 e 230] and that this fact can have a positive impact on the acceptance of wind power [231,232].”
