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 [...]

Identifying Product Life Cycle Stage of Hard Carbon Anode Materials

Authors Liu, Huiting Abstract As lithium-ion batteries are facing the challenges of potential resource scarcity and insecure supply chain, sodium-ion battery is widely discussed as a promising alternative due to its low cost and use of abundant elements. Hard carbon, also called non-graphitizable carbon, is the most suitable anode for sodium-ion batteries so far. As [...]

LCA of cognitive manufacturing applied to energy-intensive industries

Authors Fernández Astudillo, Miguel Abstract Energy intensive industries are responsible a large share of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) and their decarbonization is an indispensable step to reach climate change mitigation targets. They are also large players in the economy and changes in their production lines have important social and economic implications. Digitalization of these [...]
