| Abstract: | In the broader context of the energy transition and the goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it is of major interest to have a comparative perspective on risks related to accidents for a broad range of energy technologies. This is an essential contribution to support stakeholders in complex decision-making processes to plan, design and establish supply chains that are economic, efficient, reliable, safe, secure, and sustainable. Among renewable technologies, solar photovoltaic (PV) is expected to be a major contributor. Therefore, this study presents a first step on the assessment of accident risk considering a full-chain perspective for current and future PV technologies to be included in a comparative assessment for energy technologies. In particular, it focused on the comparative accident risk assessment for PV manufacturing. Designated hazardous substances involved in PV manufacturing chains are selected from life cycle inventories to characterize the risk of PV production processes. The assessment quantitatively estimated the accident risk of hazardous substances with risk indicators, e.g., fatality rate, using global historical data collected from multiple industrial accident databases. The hazardous substances risk indicators are allocated to the PV technologies to estimate manufacturing accident risk, and to compare their relative contributions to overall PV indicators. Results indicate that hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and sodium hydroxide are the most significant hazardous substances. Furthermore, among the considered PV technologies, results reveal that copper-indium-gallium-diselenide (CIGS) panels have the worst risk performance compared to the other technologies, while cadmium telluride (CdTe) panels performed best. |
