Life cycle assessment of electricity delivery systems: Attributional and Consequential approaches
DownloadFall 2020
The transition towards low carbon electricity generation can be guided by investigating the economic and environmental consequences of policy decisions. However, there is limited information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy footprints, and changes in production cost under different...

Life cycle environmental and economic assessments of zeolite 13X-based space heating systems
DownloadFall 2021
The important role of a heat storage system in the transition to a low carbon economy is widely acknowledged in scientific literature. In cold regions like Canada, where fossil-based space heating systems are widely used, the associated greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are a major concern. The use...
