It is an environmental tool to evaluate the products, packaging and processes identifying the different environmental impact, throughout its life, between a new product and others that already exist in the market or compare different manufacturing processes of the same product, in terms of using resources and emissions.

It deals with the análisis of th life cycle or environmental balance that is linked toe o-desing.

The evaluation of the life cycle is an instrument to know what is the realization of products, processes and activities during the whole life process of a producto, to be able to implement measures that remedy or avoid the impact.

The phases, requirements or guidelines to carry out the evaluation of a life cycle are:

The pase of definition of trhe objective and scope.

The inventory análisis phase.

The environmental impact assessment phase.

The interpretation phase.

This standard, together with that of ISO 14040 of 2006, is an update or replacement of the previous versions. LCA can help:
- An identification of opportunities to generate an improvement in environmental performance in the various stages of the product in its life cycle.
- Select environmental performance indicators including their measurement techniques.
- Marketing (Environmental labeling scheme as for example).

This merger and changes were based on the need to evaluate not only the impact generated by the manufacture of a product, but which is currently taken into account throughout its life cycle, which can impact and generate great environmental damage if control and compliance with policies is achieved.
It should be noted that this Life Cycle analysis is linked to ecodesign which provides:
•Costs reduction.
• Commercial differentiation.
• Facilitates ecodesign.
Taking into account that ecodesign is the integration of environmental aspects in the design and development of the product with the objective of reducing adverse environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of a product.

The iso 14040 standard regulates the environmental evaluation methodology of the life cycle analysis of a product. This methodology of environmental evaluation allows to analyze and quantify the environmental aspects and potential impacts of a product or service throughout its life cycle, that is, of all stages of its existence.

The growing awareness in society regarding the importance of environmental protection has resulted in the development of methods that allow us to better understand and treat the impacts associated with products and services, whether manufactured or consumed.

This research is carried out in order to show the difference between the emission in the traditional energy system providing data on the relationship, heat, power among others. This article examines the energy and environmental properties of the project being carried out in China, being the first to evaluate it and provide political guidance to generate more general projects.

The life cycle is used to assess energy consumption and the emission of greenhouse gases (GEI) from China Natural Gas Distributed energy systems.

Where it is demonstrated through the All Natural Gas Project, it saves 8% of energy by reducing GEI emissions by 38% unlike the traditional Project.

In recent years, the execution of distributed energy system projects, whitch is an important part of China thirteenth plan has advanced.

In China 46 distributed energy system projects have been built and another 16 projects are expected to be built although this system is still in the “learn by doing” stage. The evaluation of these projects is important due to the improvement of current practice.

Authors who have conducted studies on Energy Systems:

Strachan N, investigates the difference that exists in the emission caused by the Distributed Energy System and the Traditional Energy System in factors such as HPR (heat-power ratio), these values may vary due to the demand and location of the users.

Romero, investigates 5 cases (green buildings) and evaluates the performance in Spain through the LCA method where the influence on the environment is investigated, this research foundations a framework of locaion demand for electricity/solar condition.

Weeley uses the calculation of the VPN in the evaluation of heat and electricity cogeneration projects, in contexts of residual fuel sales.

Research Method

This triedes to analyze life cycle energy consumption and GHG emission of multiple types of Distributed Energy System projects with different energy supply pathways.
With output (electricity, heat and cooling) held constant, the fuel energy consumption is calculated given efficiency factors, and then life cycle energy consumption and GHG emission cency.
It should be noted that we can we can assume local solar power provides part of the energy demand, leaving the rest satisfied by grid electricity. But for wind power, this story won’t hold. According to OSGeo, a GIS lab, Sichuan has annual average wind speed of 1-2 m/s. The wind resource is negligible and the amount may fall below the threshold of economy, so outside wind electricity from other provinces may be a good substitute.

Other methods are also used of energy distribution to be able to take them as an example and to compare the results. According to the results we discover that renewable energy projects have the potential to develop in the future.

This procedure is a tool and strategy that allows the analysis and quantification of the environmental aspects of a product, throughout its life process. This evaluation goes from when the product is created until its final disposal as waste. All this verification is aimed at the continuous improvement of the products and the way in which the risks that I can generate can be dealt with efficiently, and also provides improvements in environmental performance.
It should be noted that this ACV procedure allows the comparison of the same product or with products of different materials, it is important to highlight how this process has direct involvement with the design and development of the product causing safety and protection of the environmental impact that is generated.

This international standard is divided into two types of studies which are LCA (ACV) (Life Cycle Analysis) and LCI (ICV) (Life Cycle Inventory Analysis).
The principles of LCA (ACV) are fundamental since its purpose is oriental in the handling of products.
