Evaluating microalgae‐to‐energy ‐systems: different approaches to life cycle assessment (LCA) studies
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is suggested that, while a wide variety of new technological pathways for microalgae-to-energy systems are being assessed, the majority of studies reported employ relatively limited system boundaries that may not capture the full impacts of the processes.
