Title: | How to assess the potential of emerging green technologies? Towards a prospective environmental and techno-economic assessment framework | Authors: | THOMASSEN, Gwenny VAN DAEL, Miet VAN PASSEL, Steven You, Fengqi |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY | Source: | Green chemistry (Print), 21 (18) , p. 4868 -4886 | Abstract: | For sustainable production and consumption, emerging green technologies need to be optimized towards a minimal environmental impact and a maximal economic impact. In an early stage of technology development, more flexibility is available to adapt the technology. Therefore, a prospective environmental and techno-economic assessment is required. The prospective assessment differs at the different stages of technology development, as also the data availability and accuracy evolves. This paper reviews the different prospective technological, economic and environmental assessment methods which have been used to assess the potential of new green chemical technologies. Based on the current best practices, an overarching framework is introduced to assess the technological, economic and environmental potential of an emerging green chemical technology at the different stages of technology development. | Notes: | Thomassen, G (reprint author), UHasselt, Ctr Environm Sci, Agoralaan, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium.; Thomassen, G (reprint author), VITO, Unit Separat & Convers Technol, Boeretang 200, B-2400 Mol, Belgium.; Thomassen, G (reprint author), Univ Antwerp, Dept Engn Management, Prinsstr 13, B-2000 Antwerp, Belgium.; Thomassen, G (reprint author), Univ Ghent, Res Grp Sustainable Syst Engn STEN, Coupure Links 653, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium.; You, FQ (reprint author), Cornell Univ, Robert Frederick Smith Sch Chem & Biomol Engn, Ithaca, NY 14853 USA. fengqi.you@cornell.edu |
