20.500.12556/RUL-152816 Life cycle sustainability assessment of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology for ecodesign purposes The EU-funded project eGHOST supports the fuel cells and hydrogen (FCH) industry in shaping the eco (re)design of hydrogen-related products such as proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stacks. Within this framework, a life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) of a PEMFC stack was conducted to evaluate its potential environmental, economic, and social impacts. The climate change indicator for one 48 kW$_{el}$ PEMFC stack is 1160 kg CO$_2$ eq., with platinum accounting for 63.5% of the total value. The cost depends mainly on the production rate, and it is 2233 €/stack for an annual production of 50,000 stacks. Social hotspots are mainly associated with platinum production in South Africa. Illustrative ecodesign actions allow a reduction in climate change of 31% and 46% in the realistic (short-term) and optimistic (long-term) concept, respectively. A further reduction in climate change (54% in the optimistic concept) is achieved if 95% recycled Pt is used. sustainability environmental life cycle assessment life cycle costing social life cycle assessment ecodesign PEMFC proton exchange membrane fuel cell hydrogen technologies trajnostni razvoj življenjski cikel okoljski vpliv stroški socialni vpliv ekosnovanje PEMGC vodikove tehnologije true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-12-07 14:12:37 2023-12-07 14:12:42 2024-02-02 09:12:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 39673-39689 iss. 99 Vol. 48 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 502.1 1879-3487 10.1016/j.ijhydene.2023.05.255 156527875 Mori_..._Life_cycle_sustainability_assessment_of_a_proton_....pdf Mori_..._Life_cycle_sustainability_assessment_of_a_proton_....pdf 1 70E141D03FA11C0F161B6446C146CC12 4c195070064218c74611330daa347dd8831d7a23127876577e556cc9cb1f16e5 8291fda1-9503-11ee-88f2-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178494 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360319923026459 1 4e84c3a6-9502-11ee-88f2-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178493 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
