Life cycle thinking and environmental assessments in bio-based innovations: from materials to energy systems
Life Cycle Assessment of a Novel Combined Gasification and Combustion Technology from Low-Value Biomass for Industrial Applications. Preliminary Assessment
Short Introductive summary
This study evaluates CBE4I's environmental sustainability to aid industrial decarbonization. The CBE4I is a novel technology that combines flexible biomass gasification and combustion for highly efficient, zero-emission process heat generation that can pave the way for decarbonizing the heat demand for industrial sectors. A cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) identifies the environmental benefits versus impacts and investigate the novel process chain hotspots, focusing on resource efficiency, waste minimization, and ash treatment and recovery. The study uses up-to-date primary data to assess these advancements, guiding developers and informing stakeholders to accelerate biomass-based heat adoption.
