Renewables-Based Technology: Sustainability AssessmentSustainability is a key driving force for industries in the chemical, food, packaging, agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors, and quantitative sustainability indicators are being incorporated into company reports. This is driving the uptake of renewable resources and the adoption of renewables.Renewables' can either be the substituted raw materials that are used in a given industry, (e.g. the use of biomass for fuel); the use and/or modification of a crop for use in a new industry (e.g. plant cellulose), or the reuse of a waste product (e.g. organic waste for energy production).This is the first book in the Wiley Renewable Resources series that brings together the range of sustainability assessment methods and their uses. Ensuing books in the series will look at individual renewable materials and applications.

Over the past decade, renewables-based technology and sustainability assessment methods have grown tremendously. Renewable energy and products have a significant role in the market today, and the same time sustainability assessment methods have advanced, with a growing standardization of environmental sustainability metrics and consideration of social issues as part of the assessment.Sustainability Assessment of Renewables-Based Products: Methods and Case Studies is an extensive update and sequel to the 2006 title Renewables-Based Technology: Sustainability Assessment. It discusses the impressive evolution and role renewables have taken in our modern society, highlighting the importance of sustainability principles in the design phase of renewable-based technologies, and presenting a wide range of sustainability assessment methods suitable for renewables-based technologies, together with case studies to demonstrate their applications.This book is a valuable resource for academics, businesses and policy makers who are active in contributing to more sustainable production and consumption.For more information on the Wiley Series in Renewable Resources, visit www.wiley.com/go/rrsTopics covered include: The growing role of renewables in our societySustainability in the design phase of products and processesPrinciples of sustainability assessmentLand use analysisWater use analysisMaterial and energy flow analysisExergy and cumulative exergy analysisCarbon and environmental footprint methodsLife Cycle Assessment (LCA), social Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing (LCC)Case studies: renewable energy, bio-based chemicals and bio-based materials.
