Extended Data Table 2 Key sensitive technological factors for bioresidues valorization pathways – continued

From: Environmental mitigation potential of waste-to-nutrition pathways

  1. Please refer to legend of Extended Data Table 1. Direct feeding, open-air burning, and direct spreading/decay pathway variants are not displayed for presenting a relatively low LCA scores dispersion as a function of technological factors (for example, for direct feeding) or because the dispersion of LCA scores was mostly explained by a specific- and impact-dependent emission factor (for example, for decay on land pathways).
  2. *: See definition in SI.4.
  3. **: This parameter was found as the most sensitive for the water use impact category, for all pathways involving electrolysis (for example, GA_grid and MP_meths). AD, Anaerobic digestion; CHP, Combined heat & power; DM, Dry matter; EF, Emissions factor; GA, Gasification; HHV, High heating value; HOB, Hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria; HT, High temperature; IL, Ionic liquid; LHV, Low heating value; LT, Low temperature; MOB, Methane-oxidizing bacteria; OM, Organic matter; PCR, Protein conversion ratio; TBMP, Theoretical biomethane potential; WW, Wet weight.
