Life Cycle and Techno-Economic Assessment Templates for Emerging Carbon Management Technologies

Technologies that valorize carbon dioxide are becoming an increasingly relevant component of the portfolio of solutions necessary to mitigate and reverse climate change. Assessing the environmental and economic characteristics of these technologies early in their developmental trajectories can help...
