Abstract
of carotenoid s prod uction, is d escribed in th is paper. Th e environmental impact is calcul ated , th rough a W eigh ted M atrix . Th e impact of 20
activities of the life cycle of microalgae, in 19 medium level impact categories and in 4 final level impact categories are shown (matrix base
20* 19* 4). Th is evaluation sh ow s th at microalgae are f riend ly w ith th e environment. Th e ach ieved results, verif y th at microalgae are an ex cellent
biomass th at can be used f or th e prod uction of compound s of h igh a d d ed v alue.
