“…Particularly, low-carbon product [85][86][87][88] and carbon pricing [89][90][91][92] are important contents of the services and applications of Energy Internet. First, since energy conservation and emission reduction is one of the goals of Energy Internet, low-carbon product and carbon pricing can influence the decision making process of the government in the development of Energy Internet initiatives.…”

“…Stage (a) takes into account processes related to raw extraction material and to manufacturing of an LCA. In this stage, an economic balance model is used to estimate CF similar to the estimation of CF for electronic products proposed by References [3,23]. In stage (a), it is required to divide the analysis into two sections.…”

“…On the other hand, governments and organizations have created standards such as the Kyoto protocol [1] and Cop 21 [2], in which countries that are involved should follow the guidelines to reduce GHG emissions in the short, medium, and long terms. However, a concrete method to estimate carbon footprint (CF) in the electronic industry that is comparable with other CF industry estimations has not yet been developed [3].…”

“…These type of approaches search for reduction in ambiguities in the estimations, integrating the largest amount of information from the supply chain. There are three types of hybrid analysis: (1) tiered hybrid analysis, (2) input-output hybrid analysis, and (3) integrated hybrid analysis [3]. In the following paragraph, the first two will be described, while the third one is part of our approach and will be described in the methodology section.…”

A Cradle-to-Grave Multi-Pronged Methodology to Obtain the Carbon Footprint of Electro-Intensive Power Electronic Products

This paper proposes the application of a cradle-to-grave multi-pronged methodology to obtain a more realistic carbon footprint (CF) estimation of electro-intensive power electronic (EIPE) products. The literature review shows that methodologies for establishing CF have limitations in calculation or are not applied from the conception (cradle) to death (grave) of the product; therefore, this paper provides an extended methodology to overcome some limitations that can be applied in each stage during the life cycle assessment (LCA). The proposed methodology is applied in a cradle-to-grave scenario, being composed of two approaches of LCA: (1) an integrated hybrid approach based on an economic balance and (2) a standard approach based on ISO 14067 and PAS 2050 standards. The methodology is based on a multi-pronged assessment to combine conventional with hybrid techniques. The methodology was applied to a D-STATCOM prototype which contributes to the improvement of the efficiency. Results show that D-STATCOM considerably decreases CF and saves emissions taken place during the usage stage. A comparison was made between Sweden and China to establish the environmental impact of D-STATCOM in electrical networks, showing that saved emissions in the life cycle of D-STATCOM were 5.88 and 391.04 ton CO 2 eq in Sweden and China, respectively.

With advances in electronics, the concept of flexible electronics has left traditional designs behind. Many concepts, such as sensors, transistors, soft robotics, data, and energy storage devices have begun to find more widespread and flexible areas of use. From this point of view, using environmentally friendly, abundant, and renewable natural materials that reduce carbon emissions in the production and disposal of these components is the first step toward the concept of sustainable flexible electronics. This review deals with the integration of sustainable natural materials obtained from plant, animal, and bacterial sources into sensors, displays, data storage, power generation, and soft robotic systems, with appropriate examples compiled from the last ten years. In addition, limitations in the use of sustainable materials as flexible electronic components and their potential for use in innovative electronic applications in the future are foreseen.
