We explain what is its importance and evolution. The Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of a product is regulated by ISO 14040. It is an environmental evaluation methodology that allows analyzing and quantifying the environmental aspects and potential impacts of a product or service throughout its cycle. of life, that is, of all stages of its existence. According to the methodology proposed by ISO 14040, the life cycle analysis project can be divided into four different phases: The purpose of the study, Scope of the study, Inventory analysis, Impact analysis.
The four phases are not sequences, since the analysis of the life cycle is an interactive technique that facilitates the increase of the level of detail in successive interactions.
Activities for LCA
According to UNE-EN ISO 14040, when analyzing the environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of a product, the following activities must be carried out:
• Collect an inventory of relevant inputs and outputs of the product system.
• Evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the inputs and outputs identified in the inventory.
• Interpret the results of the inventory analysis and impact assessment phases according to the objectives of the study

It is also a system which studies a project that has been developed in China, which consists of the distribution of natural gas. 5 different cases have been developed which consist of energy routes to compare their consumption, and also the emission performance. Thanks to this idea, it was discovered that renewable energy projects tend to develop well in the future, which are very beneficial for the good construction of our ecosystem.

 The projects that are based on renewable energy are analyzed in a different way, than the traditional ones, since these have a cost of fuel and very small emissions in their renewable technology, for all these reasons it is analyzed with LCA (Analysis of Lifecycle). Given these circumstances, energy consumption and emissions must not be neglected during its life cycle.
 We can add that gas-based projects are also very important since they are explained in a very complete way, trapping the system, user, economic and environmental values, simulating prices, with all this the project seeks a balance between services-products and the environment. ]]> 2020-04-13 13:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/manuelgualteros/pcta248b5m93rx3p/wish/504514681 With what can we calculate the life cycle energy consumption and GEI emission? jtolosajimenez https://padlet.com/manuelgualteros/pcta248b5m93rx3p/wish/504520988
 It is done through the following 3 steps. 

 Step 1: Convert the output to power input. Eg it denotes the input of energy (when it is converted into electricity or heat) from the technology of system k (case k). Yijk is the production type, while Cijk is its conversion ratio that is based on factors such as the machine's energy efficiency.
 
  Ejk = ∑iYijk / Cijk
 
 Step 2: The energy input is used to calculate the life cycle energy consumption and GHG emissions as above. LCk denotes the life cycle energy consumption of technology k, and aj is the relationship between life cycle energy consumption and energy input j. GHGk denotes the GHG emission of the life cycle of technology k, and bj is the relationship between the GHG emission of the life cycle and the energy input j. GHG emission is measured as CO2 equivalent.
 
 LCk = ∑j Ejk * aj
 GHGk = EMCO2 + 23EMCH4 + 296EMN2O = Ejk * bj
 
 Step 3: Calculate the energy saving and emission reduction rate comparing case k and case k 'according to the previous results, REkk', RLCkk ', RGHGkk' are the energy saving rate, life cycle energy saving and GHG emissions reduction of the life cycle of case k compared to case k '.
 
 REkk ’= 1-∑jEjk / ∑jEjk’
 RLCkk ’= 1-LCk / LCk’
 RGHGkk ’= 1-GHGk / GHGk ]]> 2020-04-13 13:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/manuelgualteros/pcta248b5m93rx3p/wish/504520988 project viability Danitza_23 https://padlet.com/manuelgualteros/pcta248b5m93rx3p/wish/505531454 The project has an outstanding performance in energy saving and emission reduction.Compared to coal and grid electricity, the Gas Distributed Power System project saves 8% energy and reduces GHG emissions by 38% in a Life Cycle Analysis view.
Renewable energy technology offers alternatives to reduce GHG emissions. Due to the project site environment, solar energy can hardly improve performance. However, it is possible to use biomass (by-product of beer production) or remote wind energy to improve the system. Therefore, it shows that renewable energy technology, especially the integrated use of biomass and wind energy, has great potential in the development of Distributed Energy System projects.
