Dear scientists,
Biogas plants have gained momentum in Turkey and various investments are taking place rapidly. For a good understanding of these processes and their impacts, I would like to perform a comprehensive life cycle analysis with OpenLca. Unfortunately, it is not possible to purchase and use the Eco invent database.
I would like to ask expert scientists to share with me their recommendations, if any, covering all inputs of a biogas plant.
I would like to thank you in advance.
Dear friend Mehmet Solak
A full-scale biogas plant typically requires several inputs or inventory items for its operation. These can include:
It's worth noting that the specific inputs required for a biogas plant can vary depending on the feedstock being used, as well as the design and size of the plant.
In terms of performing a comprehensive life cycle analysis, if you don't have access to the Eco invent database, you may want to consider using other available data sources or developing your own inventory data. For example, you could gather data from industry associations, government reports, or academic literature. You could also consider conducting your own field surveys or experiments to generate inventory data specific to your project. Additionally, there are other life cycle assessment databases available, such as the US LCI Database and the European Life Cycle Database (ELCD), that may provide some of the inventory data you need.
Kaushik Shandilya Thanks for the answer, i am willing to make a LCA accordingly. Hope i can get more valuable opinions like yours.
