A prospective life cycle assessment study carried out within the European ESPResSo-project consortium reveals that the environmental footprint of perovskite-based BIPV systems will be highly competitive compared to other technologies in the future European energy mix. Scaled-up production, improved efficiency and longer lifespans will drastically improve the energy sustainability of such systems in the coming […]

Prof. Maria Laura Parisi at the 3rd International School on Hybrid, Organic and Perovskite Photovoltaics, taking place in Chernogolovka, Russia and online from 22nd – 25th November 2021.

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are devices designed to efficiently collect both direct and diffuse solar radiation and concentrate it on photovoltaic cells to foster their use in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). The optimization of LSC performances involves the adjustment of both the fluorophore and the guest polymer matrix. On this account, we investigated a series of […]

On 24 September 2020 a new webinar hosted by the Politecnico di Milano website aimed at LCA professionals. In conjunction with the publication of the book by the Associazione Rete Italiana LCA with Springer, analysts and companies that have applied innovative LCA methodology in the chemical sector will discuss the progress in this field. Here […]

Renewable energy communities are multi-users energy systems that are expected to become popular in all countries, including Italy. This paper discusses environmental-driven solar compensation mechanisms, specifically designed for energy communities. Such mechanisms consider the adoption of Distributed Energy Resources by the communities and reflect their overall life cycle environmental benefit. Notably, an innovative three-steps iterative methodology is adopted […]
