TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a decision-support framework for assessing and identifying the most sustainable energy options for future electricity supply in Mexico by considering three sustainability dimensions: environmental, economic and social.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented for the first time a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study of electricity generation in Mexico, which showed that the electricity mix in Mexico is dominated by fossil fuels, which contribute around 79% to the total primary energy; renewable energies contribute 16.5% (hydropower 13.5%, geothermal 3% and wind 0.02%) and the remaining 4.8% is from nuclear power.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the full life cycle impacts of electricity generation in 2050 considering ten environmental impacts which, in addition to global warming, include resource and ozone layer depletion, acidification, eutrophication, summer smog, human and eco-toxicity.

TL;DR: In this article, a predictive model is developed to describe heat transfer and fluid dynamic behavior of a helical double-pipe vertical evaporator used in an absorption heat transformer integrated to a water purification process.

TL;DR: In this paper , a new integrated methodology to estimate environmental impacts of bioethanol production from sugarcane bagasse was developed for Mexico, where a yield of 0.42 L bio-ethanol (97% pure) per kg of bagasse is obtained for producing 1,000 L/h.
