It presents a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted according to ISO 14040/14044 principles, focusing primarily on Global Warming Potential (GWP) and long-term biogenic carbon sequestration. This is not a third-party verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and is intended solely for informational purposes and to support the MPS-ECOPETROL Pilot Project´s demonstration of the long-term carbon storage of rice husk. The methodologies used in this model is not determinant of the final numbers, but instead as a tool that helps the project's long-term goal of helping and promoting the use of this material to carbon sequestration with a very robust criteria."
