Resumen
El presente Trabajo Fin de Grado (TFG) se centra en el estudio, mediante el Análisis de Ciclo de Vida (ACV), de
las implicaciones técnicas y ambientales del metanol verde producido a partir de dióxido de carbono capturado
directamente de la atmósfera e hidrógeno verde producido por la electrolisis de agua mediante energías renovables.
Para ello, y tras contextualizar la síntesis del metanol verde dentro del marco de las estrategias y políticas de
descarbonización y control del cambio climático vigentes, este TFG combina herramientas de simulación de procesos
(software Aspen Plus v.12) con metodologías de ACV (normas ISO 14040/44 y software de ACV SimaPro v.9).
Esta metodología integrada constituye una potente herramienta de gestión ambiental que permite mediante la
cuantificación de indicadores de impacto ambiental determinar el desempeño ambiental y los posibles efectos adversos
asociados a una planta de producción de metanol verde y alcanzar conclusiones al respecto.
This Bachelor's Thesis examines, utilizing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the technical and environmental implications of green methanol derived from carbon dioxide captured directly from the atmosphere and green hydrogen produced through water electrolysis utilizing renewable energy. To accomplish this objective, and after providing a contextual background on the synthesis of green methanol within the framework of current decarbonization strategies and climate change mitigation policies, this thesis combines process simulation tools (specifically, Aspen Plus v.12 software) with LCA methodologies (ISO standards 14040/44 and LCA software SimaPro v.9). This integrated methodology serves as a robust environmental management tool, enabling the quantification of environmental impact performance across various environmental impact categories and the identification of potential adverse effects associated with a green methanol production plant, ultimately leading to informed conclusions.
