Reduction of Hydrocarbon Emissions in Solar Cell Fabrication – A Life Cylce Assessment

Abstract

Reduction of Hydrocarbon Emissions in Solar Cell Fabrication -A Life Cylce AssessmentUsing a life cycle assessment various technological options to reduce hydrocarbon emissions in solar cell fabrication are studied. Here, the combustion process causes much more potential environmental impacts than the condensation or the biofilter. Compared with the direct emission of untreated exhaust air to the surroundings area, it is shown by the studied treatment methods that the intended reduction of health impacts is more than offset. The aim of the integrated pollution prevention and control directive of protecting the environment as a whole is not fulfilled by these methods.
