Green Energy: A Sustainable Future looks at life cycle assessment theory, practice, and methodologies applied in renewable energy power plants. The state-of-the-art life cycle assessment methodologies applied in power generation units are discussed following LCA analysis and key findings from energy production processes.

Providing fundamental knowledge of how to measure sustainability metrics using life cycle assessment in renewable power plants, this title outlines state-of-the-art research about LCA methodologies related to low-carbon energy systems, their outcome, and how to relate the sustainable power concept with a circular economy.

With theoretical concepts of LCA applied in low-carbon power generation systems, outlining environmental impacts based on comprehensive examples and case studies in solar PV, solar thermal, hydropower plants and micro-grids, this book is of great interest to engineers, policy makers, researchers and academics in the area of electric power engineering.

Consists of extensive and comprehensive life-cycle assessment examples and case studies for various renewable energy plants
Enables power engineers to evaluate the sustainability index through environmental impact assessment in renewable power plants and micro-grids
Includes assessment results showing future pathways for sustainability enhancement

Dr. M A Parvez Mahmud is a postdoctoral research associate at the School of Engineering, Macquarie University. He received his PhD in Engineering from Macquarie University. He obtained a Master of Engineering (M.E.) degree in Nano-Mechatronics from University of Science and Technology (UST), South Korea and a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET), Bangladesh. He worked at World University of Bangladesh (WUB) as a ‘Lecturer’ for more than 2 years and at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) as a ‘Researcher’ for about 3 years. His research interest includes low-carbon energy productions, towards the development of sustainable energy systems. Shahjadi Hisan Farjana completed her PhD in 2019 in life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis of mining industries, in respect of the solar industrial process heating system integration potential. Her research interests include sustainable mining, life cycle assessment, sustainability, circular economy, renewable energy integration into industries, metal production from waste. Farjana has published 22 peer-reviewed journal articles, 10 peer-reviewed conference proceedings, and 1 book chapter with Springer-Nature. She is a reviewer of the Journal of Cleaner Production, Science of the Total Environment, and Wiley Energy Technologies journal. Candace Lang is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. Her research focus is the development of novel materials for novel engineering applications. Current interests include nanoparticle catalysts for hydrogen fuel cell. Candace completed a Bachelor's degree in Science (Physics and Mathematics) and then transferred to Engineering for postgraduate research leading to a Ph.D. at the University of Cape Town (UCT). She has been active in the development of metallic materials for applications as diverse as jewellery, fuel cell catalysts, and medical electrodes. Her previous position was Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at UCT. Dr Nazmul Huda is a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. Dr Huda has extensive research background both from industry and academia. His research interests include sustainable energy systems for novel engineering applications, impact analysis of primary and secondary (urban) mining, high-temperature processing, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling of high-temperature systems, energy materials, solar thermal processing, extractive metallurgy of light metals, and renewable energy. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and then continued his postgraduate research leading to a Ph.D. at the Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.
