T7006 Life Cycle Analysis of Renewable Feedstock-based Processes and Products
OverviewThis session will emphasize cradle-to-grave life cycle assessments of existing or conceptual processes for the production ofvalue-added fuels, chemicals, and materials from renewable agricultural residues, plant-derived starches and oils (lipids), lignocellulosic biomass, or plant-based industrial processing wastes.
