Deliverable 2.7, the first preliminary Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the FIC-FIGHTERS project scheduled for M18, presents an initial evaluation of environmental impacts and highlights the primary environmental hotspots within the phosphogypsum valorization pathways. This early analysis establishes a baseline for more detailed scenario assessments and optimization measures in later stages of the project. The assessment will reach its completion by month 40, with the submission of Deliverable 2.8, which constitutes the full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report.
