Development & Validation of a Programmatic Environmental Profile Methodology Based on LCA DOE's Alternative Feedstocks Program pursues efforts to develop economically viable processes for producing organic chemicals from renewable or biobased starting materials. Within DOE and industry partners, there is a desire to consider more fully the environmental aspects of such alternative processes. As a holistic approach for considering the resource use and environmental burdens of a product system, life cycle assessment offers a potentially effective means of incorporating environmental aspects into AFP projects and initiatives in technology development and program planning. Such a holistic analysis can also indicate areas within the process scheme where environmental factors may require additional engineering efforts and where cost estimates for emission controls may have to be increased.
