Carbon footprint inventory using life cycle energy analysis
Abstract Using Life Cycle Energy Analysis (LCEA), the authors conduct the case study of the global most extensive 181-MWp offshore floating photovoltaic (OFPV) deployment at Taiwan’s Changhua Coastal Industrial Park station on carbon footprint inventory (CFI) by tracking one of the world’s top ten solar cell and module manufacturers with a high-quality management system. The EU initiated the “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism” (CBAM) 2021 to achieve the 2050 net-zero-carbon emission objective. Land elements challenge Taiwan’s solar energy industry due to its territory scarcity. Installing the OFPV system is attainable after the sector has demonstrated convincing attempts on reservoirs, detention ponds, and sea coasts in the past few years. The results show the project will produce 4529.2 GWh over 25 years and subside approximately 2305.4 kilo-tons (kt) of CO_2 emission. It generates an average of about 496 MWh daily into the grid, accounting for 1.41% of Taiwan’s 35 GWh peak energy generation. Additionally, the investor will achieve approximately US$43.8 million of potential carbon credit. The findings help PV systems’ CFI and decision-makers determine energy infrastructure strategies.
