Thermo-ecology: Exergy as a Measure of Sustainability integrates thermo-ecology and exergy replacement cost as a new and original tool called thermo-ecology cost, or TEC. This tool allows for a more inclusive measurement of the impacts of using renewable and non-renewable resources by including the thermodynamics law in decision-making and presenting applications of this tool across industries and lifecycle assessments. It includes ways to investigate these effects more effectively by combining these critical aspects. This combination has emerged as a valuable decision-support tool for policymakers and the industry as they seek to evaluate the impacts of a product or process. Walks through what Thermo-Ecology Cost (TEC) is and why it gives a more holistic assessment when calculating the costs vs benefits of utilizing a natural resource Provides a new and more efficient way to measure and evaluate the sustainability of resources Includes: TEC calculation examples to explain the TEC theory as well as to help readers prepare their own analyses devoted to exergo-ecological applications across industries including energy production and waste management Demonstrates the potential of TEC usage for applications like ecological taxes proportional on TEC Cover Thermo-Ecology: Exergy as a Measure of Sustainability Copyright Dedicated to the memory of Professor Jan Szargut (09.09.1923–21.11.2017) Biographies 1 - Introduction References 2 - Thermo-ecological cost Fundamentals of exergy analysis Fundamental concept of thermo-ecological cost Application of harmfulness coefficients to thermo-ecological cost Thermo-ecological evaluation of waste products Simplified thermo-ecological evaluation of waste products Global thermo-ecological cost Thermo-ecological cost of abatement installation Example: thermo-ecological cost of CO2 removal Lifetime application to thermo-ecological cost Lifetime in thermo-ecological cost methodology Life cycle thermo-ecological cost evaluation Import and export in thermo-ecological cost methodology Thermo-ecological simplified evaluation of imported and exported products Extended thermo-ecological evaluation of imported and exported products By-products in thermo-ecological cost methodology Human labour in environmental analysis Human labour in extended exergy accounting Human labour in thermo-ecological cost methodology Fuel part and mineral part of the thermo-ecological cost Fuel and mineral thermo-ecological cost: example [70] Developed and extended concept of thermo-ecological cost Partial thermo-ecological cost TEC-LC of mineral and metal extraction TEC-LC of hard coal in selected countries TEC-LC of hard coal in selected regions around the world Characteristics of polish coal extraction TEC-LC of hard coal extracted in Poland Cumulative harmful potentials in the case of polish coal TEC-LC of transport TEC-LC of electricity TEC-LC of electricity in selected regions TEC-LC of electricity generated by wind turbine References 3 - Examples of application of TEC Thermo-ecological cost of hard coal with inclusion of the whole life cycle chain [1] TEC of coal in the whole life cycle Power plant Heating plant based on house boiler Combined heat-and-power plant Results of calculations, discussion and conclusions Thermo-ecological cost of electricity generated in renewable energy sources [8] Thermo-ecological cost of non-renewable fuels Thermo-ecological cost of renewable fuels Characteristics of analyzed power plants Biogas power plant Characteristics of analyzed power plants Photovoltaic power plant Wind power plant Calculation of TEC compensation Results of TEC calculations Thermo-ecological evaluation of nuclear power plant within the whole life cycle [25] Chemical and nuclear exergy of primary natural resources Description of the full cycle of the considered light water reactor Fuel enrichment (stage #3) Power plant (stage #6) Results of TEC calculations and discussion Thermodynamic evaluation of biomass-to-biofuel production systems [36] Production of selected biofuels Fischer–Tropsch fuels Methanol Hydrogen Synthetic natural gas Mass and exergy evaluation of biofuel production Thermo-ecological cost evaluation of biofuels Application of life cycle-thermo-ecological cost methodology for evaluation of biomass-integrated gasification of gas turbi ...
