Abstract

ACN production emits 7.46 kg CO₂eq/kg, C4 emits 1.62 kg CO₂eq/kg.

Production stage is hotspot: ACN − 58%, aromatics plant − 40% of impacts.

Carbon footprint and acidification categories are influenced by the high energy intensity of the Acrylonitrile and C4 production phases.

Waste disposal, natural gas use major contributors; energy efficiency crucial.
