Abstract
This article explores the life cycle environmental impact of various clean energy technologies, analyzing resource extraction, manufacturing, operation, and end-of-life disposal. It compares these impacts with those of fossil fuels and identifies areas for improvement in the sustainability of clean energy across its life cycle. By employing Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), the study highlights the significant advantages of clean energy technologies over fossil fuels in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, and long-term environmental damage. Also, the analysis reveals critical areas where ecological performance can be enhanced, such as sustainable mining practices, green manufacturing, advanced recycling technologies, and efficient energy storage. The findings emphasize the necessity for continuous technological advancements and policy support to maximize the environmental benefits of clean energy and ensure a sustainable transition from fossil fuels.
