Techno-economic and Environmental Assesment

Economic evaluation plays a crucial role in understanding the impact of experimental data and the current state of the process. It allows us to assess the improvements achieved and identify gaps or critical aspects that need improvement for the economic viability or implementation of the process. Analyzing the environmental performance of bioproducts throughout their entire life cycle is vital for sustainable development and the advancement of technology and environmental policies. Life cycle assessments heavily rely on soil characteristics, transportation distances, and other location-specific factors. Therefore, conducting specific life cycle assessments tailored to its location is fundamental in evaluating the environmental performance of a potential local product.
