Combining Environmental and Economic Performance for Bioprocess Optimization
Open accessAbstract
Biochemical production faces economic and environmental challenges that need to be overcome to enable a viable and sustainable bioeconomy. We propose an assessment framework that consistently combines environmental and economic indicators to support optimized biochemical production at early development stages. We define internally consistent system boundaries and a comprehensive set of quantitative indicators from life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic assessment (TEA) to combine environmental and economic performance in a single score. Our framework enables the identification of trade-offs across environmental and economic aspects over the entire biochemical life cycle. This approach provides input for the optimization of future biochemicals in terms of overall sustainability, to overcome prevailing obstacles in the development of biochemical production processes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
