Life Cycle Analysis Data and Results for Geothermal and Other Electricity Generation Technologies

Life cycle analysis (LCA) is an environmental assessment method that quantifies the environmental performance of a product system over its entire lifetime, from cradle to grave. Based on a set of relevant metrics, the method is aptly suited for comparing the environmental performa...
