Abstract Purpose Microalgae-derived biofuels are considered a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels. Nevertheless, as with all biofuels, there is still uncertainty around their sustainability. Most life cycle assessments (LCA) of microalgae so far used lab-based, scaled-up lab experimental data or from the scientific literature. This article, provides evidence and analysis, undertaking an LCA ...

Abstract The objective of this study was to analyse the life cycle coconut oil industry and process improvement alternatives. analysis (LCA) method are based on scope gate gate. This shows that input for production consists copra as main raw material several supporting materials energy. outputs oil, pulp pellets, waste (liquid, solid, gas). total potential GHG emissions, acidification, eutrophi...
