Resumen

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool to systematically evaluate environmental impacts of technologies, processes, or services. Physical–chemical and biological techniques for waste gas treatment can be compared through LCA to provide complementary decision factors for technology selection. This chapter describes first the applicability of LCA and the principles and main steps to be considered in an LCA analysis. Then, examples of application of LCA to the biofiltration field for waste gas treatment are provided focusing on biogas desulfurization and biofiltration of odors, the two main topics in which LCA has been applied. A final section discusses the main methodological gaps that make LCA application to biofiltration still very limited.
