摘要：
The application of life-cycle assessment (LCA) to electric power (EP) technologies is a vibrant research pursuit that is likely to continue as the world seeks ways to meet growing electricity demand with reduced environmental and human health impacts. Although LCA is an evolving methodology with a number of barriers and challenges to its effective use, LCA studies to date have improved our understanding of the lifecycle energy, greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutant emissions, and water-use implications of EP technologies. With continued progress, LCA offers promise for assessing and comparing EP technologies in an analytically thorough and environmentally holistic manner for more robust deployment decisions. This article summarizes (a) current challenges in applying LCA to EP technologies, (b) LCA results to date on various impacts of EP technologies, and (c) opportunities for improving LCAs of EP technologies.
