"As industrialized nations look into emerging new technologies focusing on renewable or efficient energy use - along with the move towards Sustainable Development Goals - challenges related to achieving low carbon economy projects have gained much attention. This book explores various initiatives and potential methods to achieve net zero carbon targets and issues. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) will play an important role as an effective and comprehensive method to analyse potential greenhouse gas emissionsand other environmental impacts of a technology or system. LCA is a holistic and system-wide scientific method that can be used to quantify impact metrics chosen to evaluate any emerging Net Zero Carbon technologies of interest, and reveal environmental trade-offs or further research opportunities that are required for balancing CO2 emissions. LCA perspectives of Net Zero Carbon Technologies can also be used to outline decision making strategies for a nation's shift towards low carbon economic development"--
