Assessment of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts in the manufacturing process of thermoelectric coolers: A life-cycle impact perspective

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: -eq in 2030 with a greener energy mix. In addition, generating 2.1 % with green hydrogen would reduce total GHG emissions by 1.7%p more than grey hydrogen generation. Increased use of nuclear and hydrogen energy and decreased use of coal energy are likely to be the biggest drivers of reductions. This study suggests that alternatives to alumina plates that are more environmentally friendly should continue to be explored along with process improvements such as fast heating rate or sintering aids.
