Energetic Analysis

Question: Describe about the key discussion in this particular journal is life cycle assessment and energetic analysis? Answer: The given journal represents the technologies that capture the post combustion. The key discussion in this particular journal is life cycle assessment and energetic analysis. This journal discusses the framework of energetic analysis. Apart from that, the given journal concludes environmental impacts of capturing co2 as well as the storage system. It has been identified that, three different scenarios for carbon capturing from the post combustion power plant through MEA based system. For each scenario, the researcher of this particular journal simulates the process especially for the energy efficiency power plant and the energy consumption. In the methodology part of this journal, researcher integrated the method as well as the system boundary in order to understand the CO2 capture and storage. Process model have been discussed of the whole technology and life cycle assessment regarding CO2 capturing and storage system (Zhanga et al. 2014). This journals represented that assessing the emerging technologies especially for CO2 that inherently faces several challenges as well as uncertainties. The challenges as well as uncertainties have been occurred due to lack of information or data regarding industrial environment. However, this particular journal displayed the key importance of life cycle assessment technologies from the point of view of environmental impact of CO2 capture and storage and energy consumption. This journal also demonstrated the MEA based capturing system that has challenges of emission and solvent degradation. Apart from that, the need of retrofitting for the existing power plant has been identified along with the higher energy consumption (Veltman et al. 2010). Moreover, the impact of hybrid membrane-cryogenic process of energy consumption system among the three scenarios has been discussed.
