The European Union has proposed recycled content standards (RCSs) to help drive a circular battery ecosystem. This analysis calculates feasible RCSs for the US based on future sale projections, techno-economic assessment, life cycle assessment, and material flow analysis.
This research developed a framework for analyzing the freight flows in supply chains, and the type of freight activity movements and modes using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Methodology.
This research will develop a dynamic systems model that integrates the economic, environmental and social factors that shape the reverse logistics process and the economics of reuse and recycling to develop robust policies for lithium ion battery end-of -life management
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) advancements include the use of rapidly evolving and chemically diverse batteries as well as larger battery packs, raising concerns about battery production sustainability as well as battery end-of-life (EoL). This study seeks to respond to these concerns by analyzing potential pathways for EoL EV batteries, quantifies flows of retiring EV battery materials, proposes economically and environmentally preferable LIB EoL strategies, and recommends pertinent policies with an emphasis on environmental justice.
The objective of this dissertation is to develop and refine methods of assessing the life cycle environmental impacts and economic costs of electric vehicle technologies and policies.
This project developed a framework for lice cycle assessment of complete streets projects, including the development of socio-economic impact indicators that also consider equity.
This white paper advocates that researchers and policy-makers use the analytical approach of combining urban, material flow analysis and elements of life cycle assessment to measure and improve the efficiency of urban hardscape in large urbanized areas.
This study develops a framework and first order estimate of the greenhouse gas emissions from the build-out and maintenance and rehabilitation of global roadway infrastructure networks from 2020 to 2050.
The Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC) is an operating-mode-based, life-cycle emissions modeling tool developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology researchers.
