Abstract

This study conducts a life-cycle assessment (LCA) for a gasification process that converts wood biomass into various biofuels. The analysis is based on the mass balance and input/output of the two steps of the 10-ton biofuel production per day. By using OpenLCA, an open-source licensed LCA software package, and the NREL and databases, this LCA shows that the system producing the syngas from biomass has very similar emissions to natural gas and the gasification process is the one with the major impact potential.
