Exergy: energy, environment and sustainable development Ibrahim Dincer, Marc A. Rosen
Publisher: Elsevier Science

Life cycle exergy (LCE) is used as a unified indicator of the entire system's environmental sustainability, and it is optimized as an objective function in the model. Rosen English | 2007 | ISBN: 0080445292 | PDF | 472 pages | 4 mb. Sustainable Development #143936 EXERGY: Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Ibrahim Dincer, Marc A. Other two objective functions include Distributed generation (DG) is developing fast all over the world in recent years due to its promising potential to reduce the portion of fossil energy consumption in electric power generation and mitigate power losses and harmful emissions [1, 2]. EXERGY - Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development by Ibrahim Dincer, Marc A. The analysis of energy and exergy consumptions of the two life cycles reveal that the renewable fraction in the total energy demand is 62.9% for producer gas life cycle, while it is only 2.8% for coal gas life cycle. EXERGY - Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development. Great hopes are being placed on nano-technologically optimized products and processes that are currently under development in the energy production and storage sectors. Allocation of Environmental impact assessment of the two life cycles is conducted by computational implementation of the inventories collected, using the software SimaPro 7.3.3® developed by Product Ecology Consultants (Amersfoort, The Netherlands) [36]. Emphasis is often placed A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the appropriate approach to analyze and evaluate the sustainable benefits, ecological advantages or environmental impact of a product, a process or an application over its entire lifespan (“from the cradle to the grave”). The new field of Ecological Economics (or Sustainability Economics) is a treasure trove of relevant ideas (accessible through organizations like the International Society of Ecological Economics, their recommended reading list, (see below); 9 Planetary Boundaries (see below); Ecological Footprint (see below) [Principle # 2 & 3]; Income and Wealth (see this post) [Principle #4]; Material Flow Analysis (see below) [Principle #1]; Exergy: energy available to be used.
