The role of politics and governments is fundamental in research related to distributed energy systems supporting these initiatives in the search for technologies and funds that can be a green benefit for all.

Corporate responsibility for the application of LCA

Companies are required to implement the life cycle analysis for all stages of production due to legal, social and political obligations; Its application is so valuable as it brings benefits for the company and the consumer in general.
Compliance is necessary because it is a strategy for sustainable development and that manufacturers have information from obtaining raw materials (initial stage) and the destination of their products (final stage) to innovate on the issue of reuse.

The LCA has two important standards for its application (ISO 14040. Environmental Management. Life Cycle Analysis. Principles and reference framework and ISO 14044. Environmental Management. Life Cycle Analysis. Requirements and guidelines) where 4 relevant phases are established that guide this methodology for its correct development:

- Definition of the objectives and scope of the study.

- Inventory analysis.

- Note of impact.

- Interpretation

Among the benefits for companies is the reduction of costs in manufacturing, transport and distribution for greater efficiency of raw materials, inputs and energy improving market positions as well as benefits for the environment.

The life cycle analysis (Abbreviated as LCA) is the compilation of inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product through its life cycle which can be evaluated.

The potential development of the process and productive stages in an ACL is qualified by developing the following activities.

-Make the collection of an inventory of the most important inputs and outputs of the product system.

-Evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with each entry and exit.

-Make the interpretation of the results of the inventory analysis and of all the stages previously evaluated according to the study objectives.

The LCA allows recognition of the objectives of the creation of a product; It also allows to look for improvement options in the execution of the processes for obtaining and finalizing the useful life of the resources used for this purpose.

The definition of the criteria of a product through the LCA must cover the entire scope of the investigation, the functions of the product, the units and their limitations, additionally the requirements, assumptions, value judgments, among others are required; With this, the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (EILC) can be done.

The objectives must be directly related to the scope of the LCA; This should also be linked to the identification of the most important problems such as energy impacts, analysis of the cycles and stages of a product and the contributions that can be given from this; the evaluation carried out on this concept determined the integrity, coherence and sensitivity of the study; With the results obtained, the necessary conclusions can be drawn for the advances proposed in the study.

The life cycle analysis is responsible for assessing the damage caused by a product or service; In the case of an article studied, it is sought to carry out the evaluation of the energy and emissions of Greenhouse Gases (Abbreviated as GHG) generated by the energy systems project distributed in a brewery in China, comparing it with traditional energy technologies.

The article presents the research done on the LCA carried out in China since in this country various renewable energies are used in all its processes, this is done as part of a responsible production strategy, this allows researchers to make comparisons and get conclusions.
With the comparisons made of the data obtained with the LCA for the project studied and presented by the article, it was concluded that the use of renewable energy is more efficient and presents a considerable reduction in emissions compared to traditional fuels that make use of fuels fossils

The LCA functions as a method for understanding and managing the impacts associated with the production and use of a product that involves the use of natural resources and the way in which they are delivered to the environment (such as dumping, waste or emissions).

In the life cycle analysis, all the stages through which a product passes must be taken into account, from when the raw material for manufacturing is acquired until its final disposal as waste.

The use of renewable energies is one of the possibilities of evaluation of the ACL, below is a scheme where the variables to be identified and the advantages obtained are related.

It is essential that organizations in the development of their products duly carry out the study of the life cycle in their manufacture for natural commitments since the benefits they generate contribute significantly to the organization and consumers in general.
It is important that for the elaboration of raw materials the commitments are fulfilled from the moment that the stage begins to obtain environmentally friendly products and thus to arrange the final destination of the products it can be said that they are skills for a reasonable reuse progress.

ISO 14040: “Life Cycle Analysis is a technique to determine aspects environmental and potential impacts associated with a product: compiling an inventory of relevant inputs and outputs of the system, assessing potential  environmental impacts
associated with these inputs and outputs, and interpreting the results of the inventory phases and impact in relation to the objectives of the study.

LCA allows to obtain a simplified model of a production system and impacts
associated environmental; however, it is not intended to provide a total and absolute representation of
Each environmental interaction.

Disadvantage: despite applying coverage over the entire life cycle of a
product, in many cases it is difficult to cover all activities.

The article is based on a study carried out in the country of China, the general objective was to quantitatively compare the different types of energy sources, in the specific case it was analyzed from the energy sources obtained from coal and that purchased by the state obtained by network .

When comparing the data, an energy saving of 8% is obtained and something to highlight the reduction of more than 30% in greenhouse gases in the implementation of sources such as biomass or wind.

Highlight the commitment of the Chinese government, when carrying out this type of studies, the importance of generating a change is evidenced, in this case of obtaining current energy sources from clean and renewable energy sources, and environmental impacts (greenhouse gases) that each type of source of generation generates, thanks to the application of life cycle analysis, it was possible to determine decreases of pollutants and the saving of 8% in the change of energy source, this would imply investment of economic resources with medium and long benefits term.

Analysis of Distributed Energy System Projects Establishes cases where coal is burned to generate heat because coal remains the dominant energy in central heating systems in China. According to the China Energy Flow Chart 2012, coal represents 85% of the energy used in heating. Solar and biomass energy, although limited, can satisfy part of the demand for electricity, and our results can quantify how much we can benefit these new energy models to the climate. The maximum local utilization of solar / biomass energy is economically reasonable, and can reduce the loss of energy in transportation and other processes.

The ISO 14040 life cycle analysis together with the requirements established in the ISO 14044 standard, are evidenced in the article read since it analyzes the energy consumption since its obtaining, the consequences associated with obtaining this resource and the impacts that they have in society and the environment and the most important thing that is being done to change to obtain clean energy for the commitment made by the government, makes me think how important it is to implement this type of study in any aspect of life and that in general terms all the activities that we currently carry out have important impacts to evaluate.

With few solar resources but little wind energy. We can assume that local solar energy provides part of the energy demand, leaving the rest safe from grid electricity. But for wind energy, this story will not be valid. According to OSGeo, a GIS laboratory, Sichuan has an average annual wind speed of 1 to 2 m / s. The wind resource is insignificant and the amount may fall below the threshold of the economy, so external wind electricity from other provinces can be a good substitute.
