“…The study reveals that imported coal has approximately *2 times more impacts when compared to natural gas in terms of GWP, whereas *2.5 times in terms of human health impacts due to climate change as a result of GHG emissions such as CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O. Further, it has also been observed that electricity generation using natural gas is a good substitute in terms of GHG emissions when compared to coal in developing countries like India (Santoyo-Castelazo et al 2011). Hence, for coal-based thermal power plants, more enhanced technologies such as IGCC, circulating fluidized bed combustion technology (CFBC), carbon capture and storage (CCS) and sustainable management practices can be applied for reducing GHG emissions during the life cycle of electricity generation (Jaramillo et al 2007).…”

“…Em teoria, as concessões para uso de água subterrânea reduziram 1,96 km 3 no período entre 2009-2013; no entanto, as águas subterrâ-neas continuam representando mais de um terço da água total (55,41 km 3 ) destinada à agropecuária e geram uma parcela ainda maior de retornos econômicos nesse setor. Em terceiro lugar, a matriz de geração elétrica do México é dominada por combustíveis fósseis (Santoyo-Castelazo et al, 2011;Sheinbaum-Pardo et al, 2012;CFE, 2013), o que faz com que as relações entre eletricidade, água e clima ganhem um destaque especial. O uso de água subterrânea para geração de eletricidade, mencionado na Introdução, é evidenciado pelos quatro títulos de concessão para esse propósito nos estados de Baja California Sur, Nuevo Leon e o Distrito Federal.…”

“…The majority of the aforementioned studies [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]29] that performed the LCA of nuclear power generation systems defined the system boundary conditions to include front-end activities (mining, milling, refinery, conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication), operation of power plants to generate electricity, back-end activities (interim storage, waste conditioning, waste disposal), transportation, construction of the nuclear power plant, and decommissioning of the nuclear power plant. One study [13] defined their boundary conditions to include all the activities associated with the majority of the studies that are listed above and the only exception being that the fuel cycle results were borrowed from the then existing literature.…”
