Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product, service or system throughout its life cycle, from its creation until its elimination. The main objective of the LCA is to assess environmental impacts through different life cycle stages, including raw material extraction, production, use, transport and disposal.
The LCA considers different environmental impact categories such as the use of natural resources, air emissions, water and soil pollution, the greenhouse effect and energy consumption. These impacts are measured and evaluated using category-specific indicators to assess the environmental impact of the product or system analyzed.
According to a study conducted by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, the life cycle analysis of the Limenet process falls between 5-10%, depending on the carbon footprint of the electricity used. This means that for every 100 kg of gross CO₂ removed by Limenet, the entire process can be responsible for emitting 5-10 kg. As a result, the net CO₂ removed is 90-95 kg.
