“…In the scientific literature, most of the works on improving approaches to environmental assessment in the energy sector focus on the assessment of CO 2 emissions and toxic substances into the atmosphere [18]- [20]. Some authors include an assessment of the impact on the ozone layer [21], [22], on water resources [23], land resources [24] and an assessment of global warming potential [21], [25].…”

Greening the global energy sector implies the development and implementation of large-scale energy projects around the world. The quality and effectiveness of the environmental assessment plays a central role in achieving the declared results of eco-modernization: the ability to comprehensively and quickly assess the current activities of an energy facility or an investment project planned for implementation allows one to quickly implement environmental and management solutions. The energy sector is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the largest consumer of natural resources; this is what one considers in most of the proposed approaches to environmental assessment in the scientific and methodological literature. However, in addition to greenhouse gas emissions (in particular CO2), energy facilities operating on traditional and alternative fuels consume a significant amount of oxygen as a result of their combustion, which also has a number of negative environmental consequences. The purpose of the study is the development of a methodology for rapid environmental assessment of energy projects, taking into account CO2 emissions and oxygen consumption. The article presents specific indicators of oxygen consumption and CO2 emissions per unit of generating capacity for various types of fossil and alternative fuels and their adoption on the example of a biogas project at a regional energy facility.

“…Wang et al (2019b) conducted energy e ciency analysis on the whole life cycle of coal mining, and the results revealed that mine design had the greatest potential to improve energy e ciency in the whole life cycle, followed by coal processing, conversion and utilization, and resource reuse. Jung et al (2022) conducted LCA of a coal-red power plant with CO 2 capture module and found that global warming potential decreased from 1.04 kg CO 2 /kWh to 0.23 kg CO 2 /kWh, a reduction of 78%. Thus, it is con rmed that CO 2 capture technology substantially affects greenhouse gas emission reduction.…”

Coal occupies an absolute advantage in the primary energy structure of China. However, the production of coal poses a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. In order to quantify the environmental impact of coal mining, this study used the life cycle assessment (LCA) method to analyse the life cycle of coal mining from the cradle- to-gate. Midpoint results based on ReCiPe 2016 indicated that coal mining had a remarkable impact on human carcinogenic toxicity, marine ecotoxicity, freshwater ecotoxicity, fossil resource scarcity, and human non-carcinogenic toxicity. The contribution analysis revealed that material production was identified as the main cause of environmental impacts, followed by energy consumption and process emissions. Steel consumption, electricity production and wastewater discharge were identified as key environmental pollution processes. In addition, specific environmental pollution substances and their contributions were recognized from the source, and sensitivity analysis between key processes and key impact categories was carried out. At the endpoint level, coal mining led to the most damage to human health, followed by ecosystems and resources. This study is of reference significance in guiding the construction of green mines and achieving sustainable development of coal resources.

“…Jung et al (2022) established an analysis model utilizing LCA data at the secondary data level, based on the actual data of the Taean coal power plant in the Republic ofKorea. Rasheed et al (2021) aimed to analyze the life cycle impacts of process stages (material and coal transportation, and plant operations) of a coal-fired power plant Dunmade et al (2019),.…”
