Goal and scope Sample Clauses
The "Goal and scope" clause defines the main objectives and boundaries of an agreement or project. It typically outlines what the parties aim to achieve and specifies the activities, deliverables, or subject matter covered by the contract. For example, it may clarify whether the agreement covers only certain services, products, or phases of a project. By clearly stating the intended outcomes and limitations, this clause ensures all parties have a shared understanding of what is included and excluded, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes about the contract's coverage.
Goal and scope. The goal of this comparative LCA is to illustrate different USMs by applying these methods to the uncertainty analysis results for three powertrain alternatives for passenger cars in Europe: a full battery electric (FBE), a hydrogen fuel cell (HFC), and an internal combustion engine (ICE) passenger car. The functional unit for the three alternatives corresponds to a driving distance of 150,000 vehicle-kilometers (vkm). The scope includes production, operation, maintenance, and end of life. The flow diagram for the three alternatives can be found in the SI (Appendix III). The case has been implemented in version 5.2 of the CMLCA software (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇), and the same software has been used to propagate uncertainty. The five USMs have been implemented in a Microsoft Excel (2010) workbook available in the SI.
Goal and scope. The goal of this analysis is to provide information on the environmental impacts of the foundations that have been developed during the LEANWIND project. The studies focus solely on the foundations, and therefore do not include the turbine, cables, or any transition piece for mounting the turbine. Every stage of the foundation life cycle is considered: from materials extraction, through manufacture, assembly, installation and maintenance to decommissioning and disposal. The case study under consideration is for installation at West ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, off the UK coast. This has a depth of 33m (the GBF is designed for a depth of 40m, while the jacket is designed for a modified water depth of 60m, and the floating foundation 100m), and the seabed is shallow bedrock/medium dense sand. It is 30 km from shore and the nearest port is 100 km away. The design life of the foundations is expected to be 20 years and a conservative capacity factor of 40% has been selected to estimate the energy output of the turbines, corresponding to a lifetime energy output of 561 GWh for an 8MW turbine, and 350 GWh for a 5MW turbine. The results have all been normalised per unit of energy output in order to facilitate comparison with other published studies. As the analysis was carried out by teams at both the University of Edinburgh and ACCIONA, two different sets of software, databases and impact assessment methods were used. The impacts of the two steel foundations were analysed with SimaPro v8.3 PhD software 49 , with data mostly sourced from the Ecoinvent 3 database 50 , the most commonly used database in Europe, except where otherwise stated. The results for these foundations are presented for the impacts characterised by the CML-IA baseline methodology, 201351, and the cumulative energy demand method52. The impacts of the GBF were analysed using GaBi 6 software53, with the most reliable European databases (Ecoinvent, ELCD, GaBi Databases) updated in 201654. Here the impacts arepresented in terms of in use of resources (materials and energy) as well as the impact categories included in the CML 2001 methodology55, and the primary energy demand. 49PRe Consultants, “SimaPro PhD v8.3,” 2016.
Goal and scope. The overall goal of this MOA is the establishment of opportunities for the continued educational progress and growth of graduates of CFBC through enrollment in programs at UVI and the facilitation of such enrollment. This student-centered goal has ramifications with respect to the programs at each institution, the delivery of these programs, and the processes, procedures and policies under which each institution operates, and which, to the extent to which they affect the achievement of the goal, therefore become included in the scope of this MOA. Achievement of this goal will strengthen the ability of CFBC to achieve its instructional mission to serve the people of St. Kitts and Nevis, and enhance the ability of UVI to operate with economies of scale as well as achieve its mission of service to the Eastern Caribbean.
Goal and scope. Definition of the objective of the FRAMESPORT portal and the features displayed in it. In particular, the portal has the aim of presenting and sponsoring the various stakeholders of the Adriatic basin, supporting their sustainable performances improvement, favouring the sharing of best practices and know-how, facilitating the conformity with the regulations, and providing valuable info and tools to tourists and clients.
Goal and scope. The goal of the LCA was to establish a baseline for the existing PSC prototype of the PerTPV partners, identifying which components and processes have the highest potential impact so they can be addressed during the project. The LCA considered the life cycle phases from cradle to cradle (i.e. from resource extraction to recycling, see Figure 1), but for the final phase the focus was laid on the recycling of the Pb containing perovskite layer (lead iodide, PbI2) only, excluding the impact of recycling the remaining PSC. The proper handling of solar cell modules is mandatory [18], but concrete recycling schemes for PSC still have to be developed. D4.1 focus on the perovskite layer does only manifest a primary analysis and further impacts and gains from recycling the entire PSC have to be added in the future, once concrete recycling schemes have been developed. The data used to estimate the impact of recycling PbI2 were derived from experiments performed at FHNW. As done in other studies (e.g. [19]), comparing the deposition methods focused on the electricity consumption needed for the process. The environmental impacts of PSCs were benchmarked with competing photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The single-crystalline silicon (scSi) PV module was chosen due to its high market share and a cadmium telluride (CdTe) PV module was used as a representative of thin-film PV technology. The impact of the deposition process for the benchmark technologies was calculated by subtracting the electricity and heat process inputs in the SimaPro/ecoinvent processes3. European electricity mixes were considered for the production of the benchmark technologies (see Chapter 5.2). The functional unit was 1 m2 of a PSC prototype for reasons discussed in Chapter 4. To account for the electricity production, the results were converted to the environmental impact related to the generation of 1 kWh of electricity. This considered the “average European irradiation weighted by the installed PV capacity per country in 2012” of (1’331 kWh/m2/yr[2012]) [20, p. 19] and module lifetimes of 1–30 years. The impact refers only to 3 “Photovoltaic laminate, CdTe {DE}| market for | Cut-off, U” and “Photovoltaic laminate, single-Si wafer {GLO}| market for | Cut-off, U” the PSCs without the balance of system (BOS). The environmental impact from the transportation of materials was only included for the encapsulation, substrate and front glass (all with a material weight of more than 0.1 kg of that material ...
