Biogas Plants as a Future Opportunity towards Material and Energy Use of CO2 - An LCA Perspective
Short Introductive summary
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted during numerous anthropogenic activities and hereby contributes significantly to climate change by radiative forcing. In contrast, there is a growing demand for CO2 on a global scale, because of its vast field of application. One potential CO2 source are biogas plants and biogas treatment plants, where CO2 is currently an emission (and a potential future by-product) of the anaerobic digestion process. The CO2 is in this case easily accessible, originating from biogenic sources, and can be turned from an emission into a product. For the first time, an LCA is conducted evaluating the whole process chain identifying environmental hotspots and optimisation potentials of CO2 for material and energy use.
