Micro-generation for 2050: life-cycle carbon footprint of micro-generation sources
presentation
posted on 2023-06-08, 22:14 authored by Spyros Skarvelis-KazakosSpyros Skarvelis-Kazakos, Liana M Cipcigan, Nickolas JenkinsThis paper investigates the CO2 emissions of a micro-generation system during its whole life-cycle, including manufacturing, operation and decommissioning. Component and material breakdown is performed. The embodied carbon from the manufacturing process is assessed. Results suggest that approximately two thirds of the CO2 emissions would be avoided with the studied configuration. Still, the emissions are found to be comparable with conventional generation. Part-loading of a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine would increase the system emissions by more than 20%.
