A life cycle inventory of carbon dioxide as a solvent and additive for industry and in products
Life cycle inventories of four industrial carbon dioxide production processes are reported. The inventory data were calculated using design-based methodology. Energy consumptions and critical emissions of the four processes are compared. Quasi-microscopic allocation was applied to processes with multiple products. The inventory data of this study are transparent and can be used in other life cycle studies. (C) 2007 Society of Chemical Industry
