Environmental Impact Assessment

Environmental impact assessment of photovoltaic inverter production process

The updated IEA PVPS Task 12 Fact Sheet provides a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impacts associated with PV systems. It highlights the significant advancements made in PV technology, emphasizing improved efficiencies and reduced environmental footprints. The goal of the study is to assess the environmental impacts of a photovoltaic system produced in China, Shanxi province, later transported to Germany for the use and end-of-life phases, when it is transported to a facility in Münster for recycling while the non-recyclable fraction is sent to. To address sustainability concerns in the PV sector, GEC launched its EPEAT® ecolabel in 2017, providing a framework and standardized set of performance objectives for the design and manufacture of more sustainable PV modules. The analysis was carried out applying the ReCiPe 2016 model and the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach.

Lead-acid batteries for solar container communication stations require environmental impact assessment

This review analyzes the environmental and health effects of LAB manufacturing, use, and recycling, and evaluates sustainable alternatives through life cycle analysis. Lead-acid batteries (LAB) continue to be one of the most widely used energy storage technologies worldwide, especially in the automotive sector and in backup systems. However, their use is a significant source of lead and sulfuric acid pollution, with negative impacts on the environment and human. The materials contained in lead-acid batteries may bring about lots of pollution accidents such as fires, explosions, poisoning and leaks, contaminating environment and damaging ecosystem. Key issues include resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution from mining activities. Despite the growing body of LCA research addressing different power battery technologies and life cycle stages, challenges remain.
