Acidification potential estimation for small hydropower using LCA methodology in India

Small hydropower (SHP) systems are widely considered environmentally sustainable, but they still contribute to emissions during the construction and maintenance phase. This study evaluates the life cycle acidification potential of different SHP projects in India using life cycle assessment (LCA) tec...
