Carbon Efficiency Assessment Service in Chemical Conversion Processes

Carbon efficiency (CE) is a quantitative measure of the proportion of raw material carbon atoms retained in the product during a chemical conversion process. Relying on professional carbon footprint analysis technology and an in-depth understanding of chemical reactions, CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry provides clients with accurate CE assessment services in chemical reactions.

Carbon Efficiency: A Central Quantitative Indicator of Green Chemistry

CE is a quantitative method for the efficiency of the carbon footprint produced by the subject, which is used to measure how many carbon atoms in the raw materials are effectively retained in the products during the chemical reaction process. It is one of the important indicators for evaluating the level of greening and low-carbonization of chemical reactions.

The formula for calculating CE is as follows:

The formula for calculating CE is as follows:

Our Professional Services

CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry is committed to providing clients with comprehensive and professional CE assessment services. Our services not only help clients understand the CE level of target chemical reactions but also provide them with directions for improvement and optimization to promote the development and application of green chemistry.

  • Clarifying Assessment Objectives

As a first step, we communicate with our clients to clarify the specific scope and objectives of the CE assessment. This includes identifying the type of chemical reaction to be assessed, the type of feedstock, the product requirements, and the desired level of CE to be achieved.

  • Collecting Basic Data

We collect basic data relevant to the assessment. This includes:

  • Feedstock data: type of feedstock, purity, molar mass, etc.
  • Reaction conditions: temperature, pressure, catalyst type and dosage, etc.
  • Product data: type of product, yield, purity, etc.
  • Energy consumption: type and amount of energy consumed during the reaction.
  • Developing Assessment Models

Based on the collected basic data, we develop a CE assessment model. The model takes into account the transfer and transformation of carbon atoms in the raw materials during the reaction process, as well as the efficiency and purity of the products.

  • CE Assessment

After developing the assessment model, we utilize the formula to calculate the CE of the chemical reaction and perform the actual CE assessment. During this process, we monitor key parameters in the reaction process in real-time, such as temperature, pressure, reaction time, etc., to serve as a basis for subsequent optimization of the reaction.

Applications

  • Chemical Manufacturing: Our CE assessment service helps clients to accurately understand the CE of each production process, optimize production processes, reduce raw material losses and carbon emissions, and improve overall production efficiency.
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Our CE assessment services help pharmaceutical companies identify and optimize energy-intensive and emission-intensive reaction steps to improve the efficiency and quality of pharmaceuticals while reducing their environmental impact.
  • Agrochemical Production: Through our assessment services, agrochemical producers can understand and optimize the CE of production processes, thereby reducing the negative environmental impact of chemical production.

Advantages

  • Professional Team: We have a team of experienced chemical experts to quickly and accurately assess the CE of chemical reactions.
  • Customized: We tailor-make CE assessment solutions according to client's needs.
  • Comprehensive Assessment System: Our services cover the entire production process, ensuring that no assessment is overlooked.
