Strong growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand requires a robust understanding of both
costs and environmental impacts across the value-chain. Recent announcements of LIB …

Direct air capture (DAC) technologies remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from ambient air

The first green chemistry metrics the E factor (kgs waste/kg product) and atom economy
(mol wt of product/sum of mol wts of starting materials) were introduced in the early 1990s …

Purpose Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) translates emissions and resource extractions
into a limited number of environmental impact scores by means of so-called characterisation …

A rapid and deep decarbonization of power supply worldwide is required to limit global
warming to well below 2° C. Beyond greenhouse gas emissions, the power sector is also …

In many regions and at the planetary scale, human pressures on the environment exceed
levels that natural systems can sustain. These pressures are caused by networks of human …
