Özet
Increasing urbanization and global population, in addition to huge
economic and industrial developments have jointly led to raised
consumption of electrical. With the rise in fossil-based fuel costs and the
environmental awareness to decrease greenhouse gas emissions there is an
increasing requirement to alter away from CO2 emission creating fossilbased fuels to new renewable power resources for electrical generation. By
using Life Cycle Assessment, this paper’s scope is to compare and
evaluation the chosen environmental effects associated with the electrical
generation of the sustainable and the fossil-based system. In this paper, the
environmental footprint that obtains from the diverse energy sources’
exploitation/use, either renewable or conventional/fossil in the electrical
generation industry, is analyzed. Analysis of the electrical energy
generation sectors depended on diverse factors include a potency
ecological effect categories’ wide vary. Thus, the energy sources’ diverse
life cycle stages used in electrical generation are investigated. The pairwise
comparison is presented for the needed data’ derivation. For each of
criteria, these comparison is applied for deriving weights of criteria’
significance and alternatives’ relative rankings. Each technology’s
ecological effect according to all factors are calculated. Finally, the ecofriendliest and the most environmentally damage technologies are
determined.
