Key Points

To evaluate the scalability and sustainability of biocomposites made from lignocellulosic residues using an integrated analysis.
Conducted dynamic simulation of PHA production processes.
Performed life cycle assessment to evaluate environmental impact.
Executed techno-economic analysis to assess financial viability.
Demonstrated potential for climate-negative biopolymer manufacturing.
Achieved significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional methods.
Validated the economic benefits of using lignocellulosic residues.

Implication

Analyzes sustainability of PHA biocomposites from lignocellulosic materials, indicating eco-friendly potential.

Abstract

Lignocellulosic residues are underutilized carbon resources for circular, inherently climate-negative biopolymer manufacturing. This study presents the first integrated dynamic simulation, life cycle assessment, and techno-economic analysis (DS-LCA-TEA) of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)...
