New Energy Externalities Developments for Sustainability
Introduction
Database created by the NEEDS (New Energy Externalities Developments for Sustainability) project: Life cycle inventories of future electricity supply in Europe. It contains industrial LCI data on future transport services, electricity and material supply.
Details
The NEEDS LCI database contains international industrial life cycle inventory data on:
future electricity supply systems (advanced fossil, hydrogen, fuel cells, offshore wind, photovoltaics, solar thermal, biomass, advanced nuclear, wave energy)
future material supply
future transport services
The LCI data sets available in this database are designed to be used in long-term environmental technology assessment. The data sets contain descriptive information about the technology. Public technical reports, available for download, complement the documentation.
Most of the data sets are now provided for different technology development/electricity mix scenarios:
