LCA of a multifunctional bioenergy chain based on pellet production

This paper investigates the environmental performance of a multifunctional bioenergy chain for the provision of domestic heat using Life Cycle Assessment methodology. The analysis is based on a commercial pellet plant located in Spain and incorporating a Combined Heat and Power system based on Organic Rankine Cycle technology that also produces electricity that is sold to the grid. The base scenario involves using pine wood both from forests and...
