Life cycle inventory data generation by process simulation for conventional, feedstock recycling and power-to-X technologies for base chemical production.

ABSTRACT: The article presents the methodology and applicable data for the generation of life cycle inventory for conventional and alternative processes for base chemical production by process simulation. Addressed base chemicals include lower olefins, BTX aromatics, methanol, ammonia and hydrogen. Assessed processes include conventional chemical production processes from naphtha, LPG, natural gas and heavy fuel oil; feedstock recycling technologies via gasification and pyrolysis of refuse derived fuel; and power-to-X technologies from hydrogen and CO₂. Further, process variations with additional hydrogen input are covered. Flowsheet simulation in Aspen Plus is applied to generate datasets with conclusive mass and energy balance under uniform modelling and assessment conditions with avail
