Life Cycle Assessment of District Heating Distribution Networks in China — Pipe Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

In China, the environmental impact from the construction of the distribution system is seldom discussed. In this study, the environmental impacts in production of district pipes are considered. The functional unit used in the study is production of one pipe unit. The studied pipes are: pipe of the dimension DN100, DN200 (Seamless steel tubes) and DN500 (spirally welded steel tubes) with specified length (12m). Based on the concept of the Distance-to-Target weighting method, the total environment load is given. The results can be used to identify environmental significant parts in the actual projects including once more parts of the district distribution system have been investigated with LCA methodology.
