Sergio Ulgiati is the Senior Researcher in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Siena, Italy, where he also teaches "Fundamentals of Environmental Impact Assessment" and “Life Cycle Assessment”. He has applied these evaluation methods to a large number of advanced energy conversion devices (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, hydrogen from steam reforming and water electrolysis, coal gasification, thin film photovoltaics, wind turbines, combined cycle gas turbines), calculating efficiency and environmental impact indicators and identifying bottlenecks and efficiency drops over the whole life cycle of the product.
