A comparative life cycle analysis of electromicrobial production systems
Anthony J. Abel, Jeremy David Adams, Douglas S. Clark
Abstract
We employ physics-based bioreactor modelling and life cycle assessment to evaluate three potential electromicrobial production systems in terms of their productivity, energy demand, life cycle global warming potential, and land use.
