International research on energy conservation techniques; Energy shiyo gorika shuho kokusai chosa

Abstract

In order to utilize energy reasonably over the whole life cycle of products, the life cycle assessment (LCA) was researched including assessment of the quantity of environmental load. LCA is composed of the inventory analysis which analyzes objectively the amount of input and output of all substances and energy due to their gathering, mining, transport, production, use, recycling and scrapping, and the impact analysis to environment based on the inventory analysis. The inventory analysis of refrigerators was conducted. The unit amount of CO2 emission generated by production of materials was estimated on the basis of previous papers. In particular, CO2 emission due to overseas production of imported raw metals reached nearly 80% in Al and 70% in copper. Recycling of materials and heat recovery by combustion of waste were also considered. Environmental effect was next assessed using the inventory data in three stages of classification, characterization and valuation. Although the weight factor of environmental effect is necessary for every emission, European and American data are now used. 59 refs., 68 figs., 81 tabs.
