Article
This paper examines the effect of scrap levels on the energy to produce steel ingot either by the blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace route or in the electric arc furnace. The energy requirement to collect and treat steel scrap is calculated and used in the computation of system energies for steel ingot production
Article
This paper calculates, for the first time, the energy required to manufacture vitrified clay pipes and fittings. The analysis traces all operations from the extraction of raw materials from the ground through to packing the finished components for dispatch to the customer. The production of polypropylene couplings, used for joining pipes in drainag...
Book
The data necessary for the quantitative analysis of energy and raw materials requirements for the manufacture and use of beverage containers are discussed. This is an invaluable reference source to workers in the field of energy analysis as it provides detailed energy requirements for the production of a large number of different container systems....
Article
A comprehensive summary of the energy and materials requirements of the beverage container and packaging industry is presented. Information available to the industry for the first time is given and a quantitative picture of many significant industrial sectors is provided. Contains original reports presented to the UK Government's Waste Advisory Cou...

... • El impacto de las instalaciones, plantas y edificaciones así como de la actividad humana involucrada se desestiman en primer lugar porque no tienen un porcentaje distintivo sobre los otros impactos [31], y en segundo lugar porque es difícil atribuirlos a un solo producto [2]. ...
... Gross Energy Requirement (GER) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) were the two environmental factors used in the adopted methodology to determine the environmental impact. The GWP measures the climatic change in terms of kilograms of equivalent emitted CO 2 , whereas the GER gives an estimate of the life cycle energy drawn from the earth's crust (Boustead and Hancock, 1979;Eggleston Hs et al., 2006). Materials that have been recycled hold negative GWP and GER, which means that they have a net positive impact on the environment, mitigate global warming, and reduce energy consumption. ...
