Sustainability Assessment of Alternative Synthesis Routes to Aprotic Ionic Liquids: The Case of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate for Fuel Desulfurization

Husain Baaqel et al.

Summary: This study compares the impact of different production routes on a specific ionic liquid, finding that halide-free synthesis can significantly reduce costs and environmental impacts, with better performance in the use phase. It underscores the importance of synthesizing routes of ILs on their sustainability and the need to comprehensively consider both the production and use phases of solvents for more accurate life-cycle assessments.

Global Sensitivity Analysis of Background Life Cycle Inventories

Aleksandra Kim et al.

Summary: In recent years, many LCA studies have been conducted to quantify the environmental performance of products and services. However, only a few studies have tackled the Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) of complete LCA models. This study proposes a new GSA protocol suitable for large LCA problems, which obtains more accurate results and reduces data collection efforts.

Implementation of uncertainty analysis and moment-independent global sensitivity analysis for full-scale life cycle assessment models

Stefano Cucurachi et al.

Summary: Life cycle assessment (LCA) models and databases have become more complex, requiring systematic methods to evaluate the uncertainty and sensitivity of their results. This paper presents a software implementation that can be applied to full-scale LCA models. The approach and software implementation are demonstrated through a case study on crystalline silicon photovoltaics.

Method to decompose uncertainties in LCA results into contributing factors

Yuwei Qin et al.

Summary: Understanding uncertainty in life cycle assessment (LCA) is crucial for decision-making, and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is widely used to analyze variability in LCA results. A new method using the logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) decomposition method was developed to decompose MCS results, allowing for the quantification of underlying variables contributing to result variability. The method proved effective in decomposing uncertainties without requiring excessive computational resources and can be applied to various stages of LCA or other fields like material flow analysis and risk assessment.

Variance-based global sensitivity analysis and beyond in life cycle assessment: an application to geothermal heating networks

Marc Jaxa-Rozen et al.

Summary: Three emerging methods that build on variance-based global sensitivity analysis provide new insights on uncertainty in typical LCA applications. Distribution-based global sensitivity analysis, spectral clustering, and scenario discovery techniques can help identify influential model inputs, trade-offs, and decision-relevant interactions more precisely, regardless of the distribution of model outputs. These techniques offer a computational advantage by yielding stable results at relatively small sample sizes compared to traditional variance-based Sobol indices.
