TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a detailed Life Cycle Assessment of the Spanish cement production in order to analyse the effect of applying post-combustion CO2 capture technology using monoethanolamine as absorbent.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an environmental LCA of the Spanish cement production using the 2011 International Reference Life Cycle Data System method recommended by the European Commission, and evaluate some improvement scenarios where best available technologies and substitution measures are taken into consideration.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the energy, material and water requirement activities of two schools located in a hot climate area, and evaluated the aggregated energy and water consumption, the water scarcity exacerbation problems, and the associated carbon footprint through Life Cycle Assessment, which allows the quantification of the impacts along the whole value chain of the school activities per student.

TL;DR: In this paper, environmental impacts of an experimental solar absorption air-conditioning system based on a Life Cycle Assessment were evaluated for the first time in Mexico, and the main contribution of environmental impacts in the solar cooling system was the consumption of energy and raw materials for the construction, whereas for the commercial cooling system, the electricity consumption and the use of refrigerant were the major impacts of the operation stage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study of HidroBioDiesel (HBD) was carried out and the environmental profile of HBD was assessed for the fossil energy use and climate change impact categories.
