Environmental Performance Assessment of a Novel Process Concept for Propanol Production from Widely Available and Wasted Methane Sources.

Currently, propanol production highly depends on conventional fossil resources. Therefore, an alternative production process, denoted as "C123", is proposed and evaluated in which underutilized and methane-rich feedstocks such as biogas (scenario BG), marginal gas (scenario MG), and associated gas (scenario AG) are converted into propanol. A first modular-scale process concept was constructed in Aspen Plus, based on experimental data and know-how of the C123 consortium partners.

Quantification of the global and regional impacts of gas flaring on human health via spatial differentiation.

Globally, gas flaring caused 350 million tonnes of CO emissions in 2018. In addition to climate change, this burning practice also has other negative consequences for humans (e.g.
