“…The choice of one database over any other can have influence on the final results. Moran and Wood [24] analyzed the reliability of different global MRIO databases, comparing the results of four of them, showing that the degree of disagreement varies by country and by model.…”

Abstract:In this paper, the environmental and economic impacts of the life cycle of an advanced lithium based energy storage system (ESS) for a battery electric vehicle are assessed. The methodology followed to perform the study is a Multiregional Input-Output (MRIO) analysis, with a world IO table that combines detailed information on national production activities and international trade data for 40 countries and a region called Rest of the World. The life cycle stages considered in the study are manufacturing, use and recycling. The functional unit is one ESS with a 150,000 km lifetime. The results of the MRIO analysis show the stimulation that the life cycle of the EES has in the economy, in terms of production of goods and services. The manufacturing is the life cycle stage with the highest environmental load for all the impact categories assessed. The geographical resolution of the results show the relevance that some countries may have in the environmental performance of the assessed product even if they are not directly involved in any of the stages of the life cycle, proving the significance of the indirect effects.

“…This linearity limitation appears as well in LCA. The methodology considers as well that the capacity to stimulate the economy is unlimited [24], thus it does not have any constraints regarding resources in the production chain.…”

Abstract. Concentrated solar power deployment could potentially play an important role in the sustainable development strategy of Chile, the country with the highest solar potential in the world. Using an Input-Output methodology, this work conducts a sustainability assessment of the installation, operation and maintenance of an 110 MW concentrated solar power tower plant in Chile in terms of economic activity, job creation, energy consumption and CO 2 emissions. Additionally, using the Social Hotspot Database, a preliminary social risk analysis in those economic sectors with the highest employment creation is conducted. Assuming domestic provision of all goods and services, results show that the associated total socioeconomic impacts during the whole lifetime of the plant would amount to 3,124 million US$, a multiplier effect of 2.2 and a ratio of indirect per direct job creation of 1.21. Additionally, results also show that direct and indirect economic activities required by the project would generate 64.36 g CO 2 per kWh. Finally, the social assessment indicates the existence of a high unemployment risk in those sectors that would result most stimulated.

“…Aunque los impactos ambientales y económicos de la tecnología termosolar han sido estimados previamente por diversos autores (Burkhardt et al 2010, Caldés et al 2009, Klein and Rubin 2013, los impactos sociales todavía no han sido abordados. Por lo tanto, los resultados de este estudio ayudarán a comprender por primera vez las implicaciones sociales de la implementación de esta tecnología en España.…”
