Abstract

This work consists of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), performed according to ISO 14040/44 standards and an environmental LCC (eLCC) [1-2] analysis of a novel photoelectrolysis cell, using a cradle-to-gate approach to help designers make environmentally sustainable and economically viable choices. The calculations were performed on a laboratory prototype cell having an area of 10 cm², and then scaled up to a commercial cell of 80 cm².
