Abstract:
The aim of this study is the creation of a model capable of assessing the environmental impact of green hydrogen production via gasification using existing agricultural residues that have no current use. Thus, this paper will contribute to fill the existing gap regarding the biomass potential in a specific region to prompt the adoption of a circular economy, as well as to curb greenhouse gas emissions in the production of an energy vector (green hydrogen). Furthermore, this work uses a novel approach, as it conducts a dynamic life cycle assessment (DLCA). Against the conventional static LCA, this project conducts a time dependent LCA based on the Absolute Global surface Temperature change Potential (AGTP) metric, in which the temporal scale is considered. For the validation of the model, a case study based on Western Andalusia is presented. The relevant agricultural residues identified are olive grove, cotton, sunflower and rice residues.
