General comment The objective of the LCA model in this study is to quantitatively assess the environmental loads of ethylene glycol produced by EEG. The functional unit of the LCA model is defined as making one ton of ethylene glycol product with a purity of 99.9% in weight. The system boundary of ethylene glycol production was defined as "cradle to gate". The LCA was performed by the attributional method that assigns the specific environmental impacts to its functional unit. The specific process routes include (1) Ethylene production via ethane oxidative cracking, with intermediate mixed C3, C4, and C5+ co-produced, and (2) Production of epoxyethane, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol via ethylene oxidation, then ethylene glycol production by epoxyethane hydration.
