Abstract

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the main instruments for the implementation of an Integral Policy of Products, and it is also an operating instrument of Life Cycle Thinking: LCA is an objective methodology of assessment and quantification of the energetic and environmental loads and of the potential impacts associated with a product/process/activiry throughout the entire lifecycle, from the acquisition of raw materials up to disposal. The results of an LCA analysis applied to a solar concentrating type Dish-Stirling for micro-CHP are presented in this work. An estimate of the environmental impacts of the concentration system, in comparison with impacts of a PV system located on a sloped roof with a retrofit system and of the Italian energy mix, is also performed by the Eco-indicator 99, and EPD 2007 methods.
