abstract = {Growing environmental concern and strict regulations led to
an increasing effort of the chemical industry to develop
greener production pathways. To ensure that this development
indeed improves environmental aspects requires an
early-stage estimation of the environmental impact in early
process design. An accepted method to evaluate the
environmental impact is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
However, LCA requires detailed data on mass and energy
balances, which is usually limited in early process design.
Therefore, predictive LCA approaches are required. Current
predictive LCA approaches estimate the environmental impacts
of chemicals only based on molecular descriptors. Thus, the
predicted impacts are independent from the chosen production
process. A potentially greener process cannot be
distinguished from the conventional route. In this work, we
propose a fully predictive, neural network-based framework,
which utilizes both molecular and process descriptors to
distinguish between production pathways. The framework is
fully automatized and includes feature selection, setup of
the network architecture, and predicts 17 environmental
impact categories. The pathway-specific prediction is
illustrated for two examples, comparing the CO2-based
production of methanol and formic acid to their respective
fossil production pathway. The presented framework is
competitive to LCA predictions from literature but can now
also distinguish between process alternatives. Thus, our
framework can serve as initial screening tool to identify
environmentally beneficial process alternatives.},
