Life cycle analysis of solar cell systems as a means to reduce atomospheric carbon dioxide emissions

摘要: Abstract In this study, the quantity of CO 2 emitted resulting from construction a solar cell power station in Indonesia using Japanese-manufactured modules was calculated by means life cycle analysis, and compared with that production an analogous Japan same modules. The per unit electrical energy generated is less than Japanese because available larger quantities. However, due to present relative inefficiency Indonesian thermal plants, emissions grows if Indonesian-manufactured are used. This analysis suggests generation systems be used low latitudes where high-efficiency has been demonstrated, cooperation between developed developing countries essential for utilization these regions.
