Abstract:Current chemical process development aims to improve sustainability. Decision-making thus needs to assess potential environmental benefits. However, reliable life cycle inventory data is often unavailable at early design stages. Without process information, life cycle assessment practitioners usually estimate inventories solely based on the reaction stoichiometry and proxies for energy and utility demands. However, the quality of these proxies has not been tested on a comprehensive data set. In this study, we … Show more

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is widely acknowledged by academia and industry as a key tool for promoting environmental sustainability within the field of green chemistry. However, certain barriers hinder its...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
