Evaluating the Sustainability of Electrochemical CO2 Capture Technology through LCA and LCC: A Winery Industry Application

Key Points

• The aim is to assess the environmental and economic sustainability of electrochemical CO2 capture technology in the winery industry.
• Conducted life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate environmental impacts
• Performed life cycle costing (LCC) to analyze economic feasibility
• Applied EDEN® technology for CO2 absorption using electrochemically produced NaOH
• Demonstrated significant reductions in carbon emissions through the use of CO2 capture technology
• Found that the economic benefits outweigh the costs in the winery industry's context
• Indicated promising sustainability metrics for the electrochemical approach to decarbonization
