Project description
Improving bio-based industries life cycle sustainability
Industrial activity is responsible for 51 % of greenhouse gas emissions in EU. A series of policies based on the Green Deal aim to reverse this trend. The EU-funded CALIMERO project will analyse case studies across five bio-based sectors to find solutions and improve their overall environmental, economic and social performance of industries. New methodological developments to evaluate the sustainability of bio-based industries will be implemented using the Product Environmental Footprint guidelines as a starting point. Multi-Objective Optimization frameworks will be used to tune operational parameters in order to improve industrial processes’ sustainability impacts. Finally, guidelines and recommendations will be addressed to industry, policymakers and the scientific community.
