Life Cycle Diagram:
1) Consider the provision of hot water using an electric waterheater fueled by electricity produced from natural gas in acentralized powerplant. Draw a process flow diagram for this energyservice with at least four stages in the supply chain. List atleast four social or environmental impacts that result from processand identify where in your diagram the impacts occur.
2) List and describe three weakness of life cycle assessment forevaluating future energy systems, and suggest ONE solution for oneof the weakness.
3) List & explain two separate factors that can lead to anenergy source having a low Levelized Cost of Energy [LCOE] despitethe high capital cost.
