“…The variability was attributed to the different types of electricity generation technologies adopted in each study. Higher CO 2 emission values corresponded to conventional open cycle gas turbine systems with relatively low electricity generation efficiencies (23–35%). , Conversely, lower CO 2 values corresponded to improved systems, such as a combined cycle gas turbine with higher efficiencies (40–75%). ,, Unlike coal, natural gas had a higher ratio of upstream CO 2 and CH 4 emissions due to additional energy consumption during the transport of gas to the power plants and fugitive emissions during the extraction of gas, which contributed to around 92% of total CH 4 emissions. , …”

This review provides an overview of the environmental impacts of combustion-based electricity generation technologies from six different energy sources, hard coal, brown coal, natural gas, diesel, landfill gas, and wood biomass, using the compiled information from life cycle assessment (LCA) studies. Hard coal has the highest global warming and ecotoxicity impacts, while brown coal and diesel both have high impacts in three out of 10 impact categories. Energy recovery from landfills gas exhibits a great potential to reduce the adverse impacts of landfills without the energy recovery although the level of reduction depends on the energy recovery technologies. The reduction potential of wood biomass-based electricity shows the variability affected by the efficiency of electricity generation and transport distance of the biomass. The application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to current power generation systems demonstrates great reduction potential, particularly in global warming impact with the extent of reduction varying with the applied CCS technologies. This study points out the necessity for standardization of the LCA method for a better comparison of impact assessment results for different fuel sources. An integrated method of LCA with a geographic information system (GIS) is suggested to understand the spatial variability of the impacts of power stations and to investigate the synergetic impacts that could be induced by the close geographical proximity of power stations.

“…690 This state of affairs is comparable to similar, albeit earlier, developments in other countries. 691 Access to the technology now available to a growing number of organizers, in combination with the lack of "canonical venues" or purpose-built infrastructure, meant that the lantern simply infiltrated a large number of existing venues.…”

The research project "Projecting Knowledge: The Magic Lantern as a Tool for Mediated Science Communication in the Netherlands, 1880-1940" aimed write the history of the lantern lecture in the Netherlands. Its sub-project "Science for People" focused on the public format of the lantern lecture, organized outside academic environments, for a variety of adult audiences, and with the goal of transmitting some sort of knowledge. This was the premise for this dissertation, which meant to be a first survey into this historical phenomenon guided by the main question: How was public knowledge transmission and science communication mediated through the optical lantern in illustrated lectures organized in the Netherlands between 1880 and 1940 in the Netherlands, what subjects were treated, which audiences were addressed and what different types of speakers are to be distinguished? This research was largely based on primary sources such as newspapers, periodicals and other archival material, including correspondence, personal notebooks, or associations’ newsletters. My goal was to understand how and why—as well as what, who, and where—historical stakeholders engaged in this cultural practice, and exactly how common was the organization of public lantern lectures to disseminate knowledge. And while this is still a largely unknown cultural practice in historical scholarship, this research has shown that, particularly in the first decades of the twentieth century, public lantern lectures were not only a usual occasion in Dutch social life, but a truly pervasive practice that reached a variety of audiences and was used to discuss a variety of topics from the paintings of Rembrandt to strategies to fight tuberculosis or how to care for your chickens. In fact, during the winter season, in the first decades of the twentieth century, public lantern lectures were almost a daily occurrence, organized by a myriad of associations.
