The prospective environmental techno-economic assessment framework is proposed, gathering best practices to assess the potential of emerging green chemical technologies.
The integrated techno-sustainability assessment (TSA) deals with the dynamic quantification of application-specific environmental, economic, and social indicators, flexible decision-making for emerging (biobased) technologies.
Abstract In this paper, the technical and economic advantages of combining conversion technologies into a multi‐dimensional plant primarily using regional biomass residues are investigated. The main objective is to show how locally available can be used more efficiently as source for renewable energy bio‐based products. Therefore, not only theoretical perspective considered, but also reality check local situation taken account. Although industrial attitude toward biorefineries positive,...
Bioenergy (i.e., bioheat and bioelectricity) could simultaneously address energy insecurity climate change. However, bioenergy’s impact on change remains incomplete when land use changes (LUC), soil organic carbon (SOC) changes, the auxiliary consumption are not accounted for in life cycle. Using data collected from Belgian farmers, combined heat power (CHP) operators, a cycle approach, we compared 40 bioenergy pathways to fossil-fuel CHP system. required between 0.024 0.204 MJ (0.86 MJth +...
Abstract Apple pomace can be used as resource for the extraction of phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. Pressing apple in juice and at lab scale open air (aerobic) under N 2 atmosphere (anaerobic) showed a recovery 85% after anaerobic pressing, compared to 43% aerobic indicating loss by oxidation advantage over pressing. After membrane screening concentration test scale, commercial nanofiltration NFX was selected concentrate an ethanol : water extract pomace. At pilot...
The integration of a multi-objective optimization and an environmental techno-economic assessment method enables the identification optimal scenarios for green technologies from both economic perspective.
