Life Cycle Water Consumption and Wastewater Generation Impacts of a Marcellus Shale Gas Well
This study estimates the life cycle water consumption and wastewater generation impacts of a Marcellus shale gas well from its construction to end of life. Direct water consumption at the well site was assessed by analysis of data from approximately 500 individual well completion reports collected in 2010 by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Indirect water consu...
متن کاملUsing Life-cycle Assessment for Sustainable Consumption
The 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg called for a comprehensive set of programs focusing on sustainable consumption and production. According to world leaders, these programs should rely on life cycle analysis (LCA) to promote sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Cleaner production is a wellestablished activity and it uses LCA. UNEP, the European Unio...
متن کاملA paradigm shift toward a consistent modeling framework to assess climate impacts
Efforts to estimate the physical and economic impacts of future climate change face substantial challenges. To enrich the currently popular approaches to impact analysis—which involve evaluation of a damage function or multi-model comparisons based on a limited number of standardized scenarios—we propose integrating a geospatially resolved physical representation of impacts into a coupled human...
متن کاملA Framework to Assess the Impacts of Jointness
This paper defines a framework to represent organizational and technical architectures and to quantitatively assess the complexity mechanisms within them. The framework is then applied to the case of the NPOESS program and used to illustrate the relationship between complexity, cost growth, and the concept of jointness.
متن کاملMeasuring ecological impact of water consumption by bioethanol using life cycle impact assessment
Purpose Though the development of biofuel has attracted numerous studies for quantifying potential water demand applying life cycle thinking, the impacts of biofuel water consumption still remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to quantify ecological impact associated with corn-based bioethanol water consumption in Minnesota in responding to different refinery expansion scenarios by applying a...
