Environmental Life Cycle Assessment

This publication was presented characteristics of the environmental life cycle assessment LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) as one of the methods included in the environmental management system (EMAS). Discusses also the various stages of analysis and guidance on the principles of its preparation regulated by the ISO 14000 standards (International Organization for Standardization), as well as paid attention to the key elements which determine the outcome of the assessments.

This article is based on an exploratory research regarding Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), an environmental management tool towards product system. It was analyzed its origin, concepts, benefits, barriers, methodology and its implementation in Brazil during the last decades. Based on the results, it was observed that in order to apply this tool in Brazil it is necessary  to acquire more experience in its use. Besides that, it is essential that there be a standardization of its methodology and government incentives. Therefore, it is observed that the LCA adoption represents an important strategic change, which can assist both in the environmental management system of the company and in the productivity profits of the system.

Key Factor

The development of electricity technology from the environmental aspect has become the key factor for competitiveness, i.e., environmental friendliness is one of the most important considerations for technology development. Under the monopolised electric industry of the past, there was little motivation for individual companies to actually manage their company. However, because of the increasing demand for energy and the concerns for the environment, energy policies are shifting towards a sustainable development, which considers both the economics and environmental protection. According to the paradigm shift of the energy policy, it is necessary to compare two major electricity sources from the view of environmental management issues. It is effective with the common dimensionless unit concerning the various environmental categories including the radiological and non-radiological points of view, which can be realized by the new environmental impact assessment methodology such as the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This study aims at a comparison of the environmental impacts of the nuclear and coal power generation systems using the LCA methodology. These results are very preliminary ones, however, this study will be helpful in making a decision on a long term electricity plan and the energy mix optimization when considering the environmental aspect in Korea and also the power generation companies could enhance their images by showing off their willingness to improve the environmental quality.
