Dynamic Assessment of Global Warming Potential of Biogenic Carbon Dioxide Emissions Through the New Framework of Biobased Materials and Products-Life Cycle Assessment

Short Introductive summary

The Biobased Materials and Products-Life Cycle Assessment (BBM-LCA) has been recently developed as a novel practical framework for estimating the climate impact of biobased materials. BBM-LCA adapts two aspects of current LCA studies to estimate the climate impact of biobased plastics more accurately: first, carbon dioxide exchanges occurring at feedstock’s agroecosystem are evaluated at the level of the entire ecosystem; second, calculation of the product/material’s life cycle global warming potential (GWP) is performed using a dynamic approach. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no previous study has evaluated the time dependency of each unit of the biobased products value chain through this framework. To bridge this gap, the goal of our study is to apply the BBM-LCA framework, as an LCA-compatible framework, to analyse the entire value chain under a dynamic and full-ecosystem approach, and then compute the global warming potential (GWP) of greenhouse gases (GHGs) associated with each step of the lifecycle of a biobased product.
