Abstract

Abstract Science-Based-Targets has been initiated to allocate ‘carbon-budget’ to industrial sectors to stay within planetary boundaries and support industries to move towards absolute sustainability. Clean and/or renewable energy are fundamentals for achieving Science-Based-Targets. Accordingly, development/usage of ‘Photo-Voltaic-solar-panels’ (PVs) have increased significantly. However, PVs’ development requires considerable resources up-front (material needed and energy-intensive manufacturing/production processes with hazardous emissions/impacts). This paper studies imposed Environmental-Impact of PVs while considering projected/future power demand. This paper investigates if PV-industry can supply needed ‘sustainable energy’ for meeting Science-Based-Targets with current technology. Results/findings are used to define needed technological improvement and/or to help developing policies towards realizing Science-Based-Targets.
