Our groups performed a conceptual design and techno-economic analysis of a manufacturing facility for production of 15,000 barrels of beer per year in New York City with a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) co-product. The facility was designed with overall sustainability in mind, considering the cultural, social equity, technical, economic, and environmental impacts of the brewery and bioplastic product over their entire lifecycle.
