Purpose of Power LCA Studies
• Baseline Different Technologies– U.S. energy policy decisions are using LCA to gy y g
evaluate energy choices — wide-scale GHG reporting requirements already in place
• Understand technology strengths andNETL has a
library of over• Understand technology strengths and weaknesses when viewed from a life cycle perspective
f f &
library of over 300 custom unit
processes to model power
• Identify areas of R&D innovation (through depth and transparency of analysis)
• Build National leadership capability in LCA at
systems and address
questions from • Build National leadership capability in LCA at

Why LCA for Power Generation?

VGS013291
NATIONAL ENE,GY TECHNOLOGY LA3OVATOVY
The Case for Life Cycle View of Power
• We tend to think that the environmental impacts of electricity generation occur at the power plant, and,
ll ’ i hgenerally, we’re right– In 2008, 33% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions came from
coal combustion (for power) (EIA, 2010)
• Regulation and technology are reducing those impacts– Flue Gas Desulfurization for SOx
S l ti C t l ti R d ti f NO– Selective Catalytic Reduction for NOx– Electrostatic Precipitators for Particulates– Carbon Capture & Sequestration for CO2
• As this happens, the relative impact from other stages of power production gets larger

• Additionally, as alternative forms of power generation come on theof power generation come on the grid, with little or no impact at the power plant, the impacts occur in places we hadn’toccur in places we hadn t considered before– Impact from wind power occurs in
the manufacturing and1.65MW Turbine in Northfield, Minnesota

• For non-CCS plants: adding upstream and downstream life cycle GHG emissions increases total GWP by an average of 20%
F CCS l t ddi t d d t lif l• For CCS plants: adding upstream and downstream life cycle emissions makes up 50% of the environmental profile for fossil technologies
• As environmental regulations and technology reduce the impacts of fossil fuel combustion, both the relative and absolute impact of upstream processes increases
• Nuclear power plants demonstrate strong climate change and economic performance over advanced coal-fired power systems and advanced wind-power options
• Environmental and economic benefits of wind farms are significantly off-set by back-up power generation to provide a reliable load generation profile (i.e., similar to baseload)

Areas of Potential Improvement
• Enhance study and inventory of waste systems– Significant reduction in GWP (by recycling wind turbine components)– Include better information on long-term spent nuclear fuel storage andInclude better information on long term spent nuclear fuel storage, and
carbon storage or sequestration systems
• Model strategies to offset cooling water use
• Examine coal mine methane capture technology for upstream improvement of coal mining process
• Develop additional detail to better understand long horizontal wellsDevelop additional detail to better understand long horizontal wells (producing natural gas), including drilling of multiple wells from a single pad
• Study gas turbines built specifically to back up wind farmsy g p y p
• Evaluate ultra-supercritical power plant technology and other existing and advanced combustion system improvements and upgrades
