## Abstract Concerns about the environmental impacts associated with consumer products led to the development of environmental life cycle assessment ( LCA ) from the early 1990s and its codification by the __International Standards Organization__ ( ISO ). This was followed by the realization of the consequences of other devices and systems. The need for the energy analysis and environmental appraisal of energy systems to be conducted on a life cycle basis, therefore, became evident. In a full or detailed LCA , the energy and materials used and pollutants or wastes released into the environment as a consequence of an activity or service are quantified over the whole life cycle, typically “from cradle‐to‐grave.” Such studies are often geographically diverse; that is, the energy and material inputs associated with the activity may be drawn from any continent or geopolitical region of the world. However, they enable a wide range of key environmental consequences to be examined as part of the device or system design process. There are four main stages of LCA , which follow a logical sequence of goal definition and scoping, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. LCA m
