Bacterial cellulose (BC), obtained by fermentation, is an innovative and promising material with a broad spectrum of potential applications. Despite the increasing efforts towards its industrialization, deeper understanding environmental impact related to BC production process still required. This work aimed at quantifying environmental, health, resource depletion impacts BC. An attributional l...

Abstract In this study, a Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is integrated within life cycle assessment (LCA) model to comprehensively evaluate the energy, environment, and economic impacts of Jatropha biodiesel production in China. The total energy consumption producing 1 ton 17566.16 MJ, which fertilizer utilization methanol consume 78.14% 18.65% overall consumption, respectively. emits number pollutants,...

The purpose of this study was to apply new methods econometric models the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) physical assets, by integrating investments such as maintenance, technology, sustainability, and technological upgrades, propose a means evaluate Investment (LCI), with emphasis on sustainability. Sustainability is recurrent theme existing studies will be concern in coming decades. As result, e...
