Life Cycle Assessment of Biogas from Separated slurry

Table 5.1. Scenario G vs A: Contribution of the different processes to each environmental impact categories selected. Results, for each impact category, are expressed in % of the total positive contributions from the reference scenario (considering the 10 years values, when this applies). Soil JB3 (sandy)^[1]
