“…coastal and rural area, are facing electricity crisis with electricity demand higher than the supply or no electricity supply into these areas [6]. Since rural areas often face difficulties to get access to national electricity grid due to economic and geographical barriers, utilization of renewable energy resources is likely the only option for generating electricity [6,7]. Moreover, in order for national energy mix target to achieve acceleration of renewable energy utilization whose technologies are technically and economically proven should be prioritized [6][7][8][9].…”

Abstract. Regarding the acceleration of renewable energy diffusion in Indonesia as well as achieving the national energy mix target, renewable energy map is essential to provide useful information to build renewable energy system. This work aims at updating the renewable energy potential map, i.e. hydro and solar energy potential, with a revised model based on the global climate data. The renewable energy map is intended to assist the design off-grid system by hydropower plant or photovoltaic system, particularly for rural electrification. Specifically, the hydro energy map enables the stakeholders to determine the suitable on-site hydro energy technology (from pico-hydro, micro-hydro, mini-hydro to large hydropower plant). Meanwhile, the solar energy map depicts not only seasonal solar energy potential but also estimated energy output from photovoltaic system.

“…Therefore, the environmental impacts associated with these plants have not been thoroughly explored [74] However, like other renewable energy technologies, SHP requires a substantial initial investment of construction materials, transportation fuels, and electric generation equipment, as well as maintenance costs, which are indirectly related to fossil energy consumption and environmental pollution [37].…”

Financial Appraisal of Small Hydro-Power Considering the Cradle-to-Grave Environmental Cost: A Case from Greece

Abstract:In the last decades increasing attention to environmental issues has come to the fore due to the looming issue of climate change. The growing demand for energy, coupled with the increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, have forced the study and development of energy plants that use renewable energy sources (RES), as electricity generation is one of the major contributors to anthropogenic emissions. Small hydropower plants are of particular interest as their potential is assumed to be high. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impacts of small hydropower plants (SHPs) using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. The main parameter set for our simplified LCA model was the weight of the components used to construct and operate the plant: concrete, aggregates and steel. Through LCA, air pollutant externalities were associated with the life cycle of SHPs. This was accomplished by applying the NEEDS framework. The results are given per impact type (human health, loss of biodiversity, crop yield, material damage and climate change). The spearhead of the study is that the environmental cost must be a parameter of the total investment cost, which may affect the indexes of the financial evaluation of the project.

“…There are several studies [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] that evaluated the life cycle environmental impacts of using hydro energy for electricity generation. One has to define the system boundary conditions (that includes details on the activities or processes to be considered in the analysis) and a functional unit of measure (that enables quantification of the net environmental impacts from carrying out an activity or a process as defined within the LCA system boundary conditions) when performing a LCA.…”

“…The majority of the reviewed LCA studies [9,14,15,[18][19][20]22] considered the system boundaries that included activities related to the construction, operation, and maintenance of the hydroelectricity generation systems. Other studies [7,11,13,16,17] adopted the system boundaries to include the raw material extraction, material processing, component manufacturing process, transportation, assembly and installation, operation and maintenance, and end-of-life process (decommissioning, recycling/reuse, and final disposal) activities.…”

This study evaluated the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from different hydroelectricity generation systems by first performing a comprehensive review of the hydroelectricity generation system life cycle assessment (LCA) studies and then subsequent computation of statistical metrics to quantify the life cycle GHG emissions (expressed in grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt hour, gCO 2 e/kWh). A categorization index (with unique category codes, formatted as "facility type-electric power generation capacity") was developed and used in this study to evaluate the life cycle GHG emissions from the reviewed hydroelectricity generation systems. The unique category codes were labeled by integrating the names of the two hydro power sub-classifications, i.e., the facility type (impoundment (I), diversion (D), pumped storage (PS), miscellaneous hydropower works (MHPW)) and the electric power generation capacity (micro (µ), small (S), large (L)). The characterized hydroelectricity generation systems were statistically evaluated to determine the reduction in corresponding life cycle GHG emissions. , and MHPW-S (N = 1) hydroelectricity generation systems are 21.05 gCO 2 e/kWh, 40.63 gCO 2 e/kWh, 47.82 gCO 2 e/kWh, 27.18 gCO 2 e/kWh, 3.45 gCO 2 e/kWh, 256.63 gCO 2 e/kWh, 19.73 gCO 2 e/kWh, and 2.78 gCO 2 e/kWh, respectively. D-L hydroelectricity generation systems produced the minimum life cycle GHGs (considering the hydroelectricity generation system categories with a representation of at least two cases).
