The environmental impact of a process is assessed by evaluation methods such as life cycle assessment (LCA). A complementary method has been developed in order to characterize the environmental impact at the preliminary design stage by application of a thermodynamic balance on the process boundaries. The chosen thermodynamic function is exergy which takes into account irreversibilities and is linked to the mean environment temperature, pressure and composition. Existence of irreversibility in a process means that a part of the provided energy is wasted increasing simultaneously pollutant emissions. Exergy is also a tool for co-products allocation. The study focuses on climate change that implies greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To illustrate...
