What are the Key Metrics for Environmental Impact?
Several key metrics are used to assess the environmental impact of catalytic processes:
Global Warming Potential (GWP): Measures the contribution of the process to climate change. Energy Efficiency: Evaluates the amount of energy required for the catalytic process. Resource Depletion: Assesses the consumption of non-renewable resources. Waste Generation: Quantifies the waste produced during the lifecycle of the catalyst.
