Environmental and Economic Life Cycle Assessment of a Spanish whisky
Cely-Parra P., (Corresponding) San Miguel G., Beltrán M.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
A considerable literature has been dedicated to evaluating the carbon footprint of fermented beverages such as wine and beer. However, far fewer studies have been committed to assess the environmental and economic sustainability of spirit distillates. The aim of this paper was to compile a complete...Read more
