Case study "Life cycle assessment and multi-criteria evaluation using the example of a wind turbine"

In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in electricity generation, the expansion of wind energy is becoming increasingly important. In this case study, the life cycle of a wind turbine in openLCA is analyzed and evaluated. The environmental impact is compared with the German electricity mix and finally evaluated against electricity generation from PV and biomass. Weighting and sensitivity analyses are used to classify the results and derive a recommendation.
