Life cycle considerations of the flue gas desulphurization system at a lignite-fired power plant in Thailand

Life-Cycle Assessment of Crude Palm Oil Produced at Mill J, PT XYZ, Sumatera Island using Eco-indicator 99

“…Meanwhile, Sampattagul et al [7] studied the life-cycle assessment of palm oil biodiesel in Thailand that had a system boundary starting from the plantation process, biodiesel production, and utilization of biodiesel. SimaPro software was used in their research but the method used to calculate the impact was the Environmental Design of Industrial Products (EDIP) [7].…”

SimaPro software was used in their research but the method used to calculate the impact was the Environmental Design of Industrial Products (EDIP) [7]. The comparison between Sampattagul et.al's study [7] and the current research is discussed more deeply in regarding the impact of plantation activities, because in Sampattagul et al's study did not calculate the impact that generated in the processing of palm oil.…”

Applying a non‐deterministic conceptual life cycle costing model to manufacturing processes

“…LCC has a long tradition as a discounted cash flow analysis that supports the procurement process of durable goods, and focuses especially on the post‐purchase costs the owner is expected to incur due to this perspective investment (Westkämper and Osten‐Sacken, 1998; Woodward, 1997; Fabrycky and Blanchard, 1991; Dhillon, 1989). Even the environmental meaning of LCC often implies that an ad hoc discounted cash flow analysis must be combined with environmental considerations (Utne, 2009; Lim et al , 2008; Schmidt and Butt, 2006; Reich, 2005; Sampattagul et al , 2004; Norris, 2001; White et al , 1996). However, if not only the perspective of the final user of a product‐system is relevant, but also the perspectives of the producer and the supply chain are, then LCC is expected to shed some light on how the costs are influenced by the structure of the manufacturing system (Artto, 1994; Shield and Young, 1991; Durairaj et al , 2002; Asiedu and Gu, 1998).…”

Overlooked CO2 emissions induced by air pollution control devices in coal-fired power plants

“…Ignoring this conflict can be misleading when formulating environmental policies, as it may result in policies prioritizing one environmental objective while inadvertently undermining other environmental objectives not considered. A few life cycle assessment-based studies have quantified CO 2 emissions from APCDs in CFPPs [ 25 , 26 , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] ], demonstrating that desulfurization devices are the largest electricity consumers among APCDs [ 26 , 45 ]. However, these previous studies have assessed a small number of power plants and APCDs, which are far from sufficient to portray a holistic picture of China's CFPPs and diversified APCDs.…”
