2. Methods
Process simulation of biodiesel production
from microalgae is simulated by using Aspen
Plus in order to obtain a life cycle inventory-mass
and energy inputs and outputs. Life cycle
inventory consists of mandatory data in the life
cycle assessment. Methods consist of two
main topics, which are process overview and life
cycle assessment, as shown in the following
subtopics.
2.1 Process overview
Microalgae are the feedstock of biodiesel
production in this work. After the completion of
