Ocean renewable energies and their potential impacts on marine biodiversity

Authors Ruiz Méndez, Dora Yesenia; Güereca Hernández, Leonor Patricia Abstract Ocean renewable energies (ORE) hold a great potential, although still at the research and development stage and not yet commercially available. The slow pace in the growth of ORE is largely based on significant uncertainty surrounding the potential effects of ocean technologies in the marine [...]

Advancing in the digitalization of data for a better analysis of electrical and electronic equipment

Authors Talens Peiró, Laura; Gabarrell Durany, Xavier Abstract The availability of digital tools is key for reproducible, robust, and transparent analysis. Thanks to digitalization, life cycle assessment (LCA) has become a well-established tool to perform environmental assessment of products and systems. However, despite the existence of diverse commercial software for LCA, data availability is still [...]
