We critically review present knowledge of the life cycle environmental impacts of wind
power. We find that the current body of life cycle assessments (LCA) of wind power provides …

The last decade witnessed a quantum increase in wind energy contribution to the US
renewable electricity mix. Although the overall environmental impact of wind energy is …

Purpose Several life cycle assessments (LCAs) of wind energy published in recent years are
reviewed to identify methodological differences and underlying assumptions. Methods A full …

This study aims to assess the environmental impacts related to the provision of 1 kWh to the
grid from wind power in Europe and to suggest how life cycle assessment can inform …

A full life cycle assessment (LCA) is usually a time, energy, and data‐intensive process
requiring sophisticated methodology. Our meta‐analysis of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) …

A systematic review and harmonization of life cycle assessment (LCA) literature of utility‐
scale wind power systems was performed to determine the causes of and, where possible …

We investigate the potential environmental impacts of a large-scale adoption of wind power
to meet up to 22% of the world's growing electricity demand. The analysis builds on life cycle …

We develop and assess life cycle inventories of a conceptual offshore wind farm using a
hybrid life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. Special emphasis is placed on aspects of …

The exploitation of wind energy worldwide comprises one of the main factors for reaching
the targets towards a non-fossil fuel era set by many countries. Nowadays, onshore wind …

Wind turbines, used to generate renewable energy, are typically considered to take only a
number of months to produce as much energy as is required in their manufacture and …
