COMPARATIVE LIFE CYCLE ASSESMENT OF 3 CO2 PRODUCTIVE PROCESSES

Life Cycle Assesment (LCA) is a methodology that objectively evaluates environmental impacts of a product or a service during all the life stages of its existance. 

It has been developed de LCA of the CO₂ production in three different scenarios:

1. CO₂ synthesis from natural gas.
2. CO₂ synthesis from industrial gases.
3. Green CO₂ synthesis (LIFE CO₂IntBio project). 

The comparative assesment of the three scenarios, allows to conclude that the green CO₂ production avoids the emission of 420 kg of CO₂ equivalent for every ton of CO₂ produced.
