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 …

Wind turbines produce electricity with hardly any emissions during operation. Most
environmental impacts are associated with their manufacture. This work performs a …

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 …

Purpose The article presents the method and results of the life cycle assessments (LCAs) of
the Vestas'2-MW GridStreamer TM wind turbines and outlines the state-of-the-art approach …

This study attempted to evaluate the environmental impact and energy benefit of offshore
wind power systems using life cycle assessment (LCA) and net energy analysis. The …

Due to better wind conditions at sea, offshore wind farms have the advantage of higher
electricity production compared to onshore and inland wind farms. In contrast, a greater …

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 …

Nowadays, wind energy is taking on primary role within renewable energies scenario.
However, impact of wind energy industry on the environment still requires to be fully …

Although wind technology produces no emissions during operation, there is an
environmental impact associated with the wind turbine during the entire life cycle of the …

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 …
