“…Considering the current level of technological development of coal-fired power generation systems, the coal-fired integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) has been shown to have positive environmental performance and a high efficiency of power generation. , The IGCC power generation system, which is comprised of a number of process units including gasification, flue gas cleaning, and gas-fired combined cycle, is often combined with precombustion CCS technologies for more efficient operation of the gas separation unit and better performance of the gas cleaning process . CO 2 capture in the precombustion CCS process is generally performed by physical absorption using Selexol.…”

This review provides an overview of the environmental impacts of combustion-based electricity generation technologies from six different energy sources, hard coal, brown coal, natural gas, diesel, landfill gas, and wood biomass, using the compiled information from life cycle assessment (LCA) studies. Hard coal has the highest global warming and ecotoxicity impacts, while brown coal and diesel both have high impacts in three out of 10 impact categories. Energy recovery from landfills gas exhibits a great potential to reduce the adverse impacts of landfills without the energy recovery although the level of reduction depends on the energy recovery technologies. The reduction potential of wood biomass-based electricity shows the variability affected by the efficiency of electricity generation and transport distance of the biomass. The application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to current power generation systems demonstrates great reduction potential, particularly in global warming impact with the extent of reduction varying with the applied CCS technologies. This study points out the necessity for standardization of the LCA method for a better comparison of impact assessment results for different fuel sources. An integrated method of LCA with a geographic information system (GIS) is suggested to understand the spatial variability of the impacts of power stations and to investigate the synergetic impacts that could be induced by the close geographical proximity of power stations.

“…They provided a four-layered structure (perception access layer, data layer, service layer and application layer) to address the issues of the existing LCA technologies such as Gabi, SimaPro, eBalance, etc. On the similar lines, Van Capelleveen et al (2018) provided a hybrid approach for real-time collection, storage and distribution of inventory data and named it “The Footprint of Things.” They pointed out that the major problem with LCA application is the inventory data collection which is time consuming, complex and expensive, but using IoT technologies such as RFID, fiber optic sensors, smart meters, etc., the issue of inventory data collection can be resolved (for more details on LCA, refer Piewkhaow et al , 2014; Almeida et al , 2015).…”

Purpose Emission reduction methodologies alone are not sufficient to mitigate the climatic catastrophes caused due to ongoing carbon emissions. Rather, a bidirectional approach is required to decarbonize the excess carbon in the atmosphere through carbon sequestration along with carbon reduction. Since the manufacturing sector contributes heavily to the ongoing carbon emissions, the purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for carbon emission reduction and carbon sequestration in the context of the manufacturing industry. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, life cycle assessment (LCA) is employed to track the carbon emission at each stage of the product development life cycle. The pre-requisite for this is the accurate evaluation of the carbon emissions. Therefore, IoT technologies have been employed for collecting real-time data with high credibility to perceive environmental impact caused during the entire life cycle of the product. The total carbon emission calculation is based on the bill of material (BOM)-based LCA of the product to realize the multi-structure (from parts and components to product) as well as multi-stage (from cradle to gate) carbon emission evaluation. Carbon sequestration due to plantation is evaluated using root-shoot ratio and total biomass. Findings A five interwoven layered structure is proposed in the paper to facilitate the real-time data collection and carbon emission evaluation using BOM-based LCA of products. Further, a carbon neutral coefficient (CNC) is proposed to indicate the state of a firm’s carbon sink and carbon emissions. CNC=1 indicates that the firm is carbon neutral. CNC >1 implies that the firm’s carbon sequestration is more than carbon emissions. CNC <1 indicates that the firm’s carbon emission is more than the carbon sink. Originality/value The paper provides a novel framework which integrates the real-time data collection and evaluation of carbon emissions with the carbon sequestration.
