Un análisis de ciclo de vida de la tecnología termosolar frente a otro de la tecnología de planta térmica de carbón permite comparar los impactos ambientales de ambas plantas a lo largo de su vida útil, siendo superiores los de la planta no renovable de carbón pero sin ser despreciables los de la planta termosolar. La información reunida en este trabajo de las características de ambas tecnologías y de los valores de las categorías de impactos de estas da idea de las consecuencias detrás de la electricidad que se consume y aporta argumentos al debate público respecto a la configuración del mix energético del país. La metodología utilizada, estandarizada mediante las normas ISO 14040 y 14044, utiliza categorías de punto medio para valorar los impactos y un proceso iterativo para alcanzar los objetivos planteados. Para la obtención de las categorías de impactos a partir de los datos obtenidos se ha utilizado el programa SimaPro.
A life cycle analysis (LCA) of the solar thermal technology compared to the coal-fired power production technology makes it possible to compare the environmental impacts of both plants throughout their service life, those of the non-renewable coal plant being higher but without being negligible those of the solar thermal plant. The information gathered in this work on the characteristics of both technologies and the values of their impact categories gives an idea of the consequences behind the electricity that is consumed and provides arguments to the public debate regarding the configuration of the country's energy grid. The methodology used, standardized by the ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, uses midpoint categories to assess the impacts and an iterative process to achieve the objectives set. To obtain the categories of impacts from the data obtained, the SimaPro program has been used.
