Life Cycle Analysis
Bio-Process collaborates with clients, organizations, and partners in the development of customized life cycle analysis (LCA) software programs, studies, and reports. LCA studies are a way in which to measure and compare alternative processes and systems for the production and use of a product and their net effects upon the social and ecological environment.
LCA Modeling Addresses:
- Energy Balances
- Water & Carbon Cycles
- Alternative Process & Use
- Economic / Social Effects
The goal of LCA is to be able to measure and compare alternative processes and technologies for the production of biofuels and their effects upon net energy balances, carbon usage, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental / social effects.
Characteristics of LCA Models:
- System Boundary Definition,
- Feedstock Assessment,
- Collection & Transport,
- Production Process Model,
- Product Impact Assessment,
- Alternative Use Comparison,
- Economic Impact Analysis,
- Land-Use Change Effects,
- Model Sensitivity Analysis,
- Interpretation & Reporting,
Bio-Process develops LCA models for ethanol, biodiesel, and other bio-products produced from sugars, starches, algae, vegetable oils, and cellulosic biomass materials and carries out analysis in the development of LCA reports and studies in ‘cradle-to-grave’ and ‘well-to-wheel’ studies.
ABP works with clients and partners in the development of life cycle models, carries out simulation studies, carries out analysis & interpretation, and develops LCA reports. Bio-Process develops custom LCA software programs that can be used to model any feedstock, process, and variety of bio-based products, runs simulations, and develops final LCA reports.
