Moreover, will cheap unconventional resources crowd out renewables or high-emissions resource out of the feedstock curve?
This may dependen on many factors, mainly upstream emissions, resource sources, power grid implications and the opportunity for energy storage from batteries.
But to nearly eliminate them you have to be strategic mainly because no- or low-emission resources are limited in certain ways and have to be used to their best advantage.
Thus, it has minimal to zero adverse effects on the biosphere (beyond life-cycle emissions), resources (e.g., cultural), and legal entitlements (e.g., religious rights of indigenous communities).
CFs quantify impacts caused by an emission or resource use (e.g., kg CO2-equivalent per kg N2O emission) and obviously are uncertain.
The other assumption is that the inventory data for each process are similar to those of the European and the Japanese databases available, which is why the use of local input data, such as waste composition, national emission and resource consumption, and the survey and questionnaire, provides significant contributions in personalizing the results of this study.
However, we change the emissions and resource consumption datasets.
We refer to burdens here as environmental interventions e.g., emissions and resource use.
The contribution of these processes to the emissions and resource depletion is, however, negligible (see Fig. 3).
Such plants may be refurbished or retrofitted with modern equipment to reduce the emissions and resource consumption levels.
ELF is the value of ELP per kilogram emission or resources emitted or consumed in a process.
