Diesel phase-out substantially reduces electricity supply impacts in Tehran. This paper conducts a joint life-cycle costing and life-cycle assessment to address the cradle-to-gate energy, cost, and midpoint/endpoint environmental impacts of Tehran's electricity generation/supply industry.
The majority of the environmental impacts of electricity generation and supply in Tehran are attributed to fossil power plants, with CCs being the main contributor.
Hydropower plants Reservoir hydropower is the most sustainable electricity generation technology in the electricity mix of Tehran. In addition to having the lowest midpoint and endpoint environmental impacts, hydropower plants impose the lowest energy and NPC over the life cycle.
Despite small contributions to energy/environmental impacts, transmission/distribution networks account for 48.3% of overall electricity supply costs (1.44 USD/kWh). Findings suggest that displacing diesel from Tehran's electricity mix can significantly augment electricity supply sustainability. 1. Introduction
