Review of life cycle assessment for biogas production in Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the status of biogas production and its effects on the environment due to greenhouse gases (GHG) and other environmental impacts, and show that the type of feedstock, e.g., maize, grass or animal manure, is a determining factor for the environmental impacts of Biogas systems.

Environmental efficiency analysis of China's regional industry: a data envelopment analysis (DEA) based approach
Liang Chen,Guozhu Jia +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make environmental efficiency analysis of China's regional industry using data from 2008 to 2012, and the results show that apart from several developed provinces, the environmental efficiencies of the regions did not show any increasing trend through the past 5 years.

Environmental impacts of biogas deployment - Part I: Life cycle inventory for evaluation of production process emissions to air.
TL;DR: In this paper, a Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) was developed to identify the unit processes in the life-cycle of biogas production and utilization offering the greatest opportunities for emission to air reduction, hence potential for environmental improvement.

Life Cycle Analysis with Multi-Criteria Decision Making: A review of approaches for the sustainability evaluation of renewable energy technologies
TL;DR: A comprehensive literature review has been performed to analyse which tools have been used by the scientific community for the sustainability evaluation of renewable energy systems during the past ten years and shows that LCA and MCDM applied individually do not achieve a comprehensive sustainability evaluation.

Optimal process network for municipal solid waste management in Iskandar Malaysia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to predict the best mix of waste treatment technologies, forecast the production of byproduct from waste treatment process, estimate the facility capacity, and eventually generate an optimal cost-effective solution for municipal solid waste management (MSWM).
