The oilseed crop winter camelina (Camelina sativa) is attracting increasing interest for biofuel production. This study assessed the climate impacts of growing as an intermediate in northern Europe (Sweden) production vegetable oil and biofuel. Climate were analyzed using life cycle assessment (LCA), while on biodiversity eutrophication discussed. Three functional units considered: 1 ha land us...

The assessment of life cycle greenhouse gas emissions motor fuels is important due to the legal obligations and corporate social responsibility petroleum industry. Combining Life-Cycle Assessment with optimization methods can provide valuable support in decision-making process. In this paper, a mathematical model refinery was developed analyze impact process on GHG at fuel production stage. inc...

agriculture (mechanization), food industry and environment are the concepts that cannot be surveyed separately (because of their interaction). present research aimed to study tomato paste production by applying life cycle assessment. two functional unit of kg co2-eq/ kg tomato and kg co2-eq / kg paste was used. data were collected from one paste factory in alborz province and open-field tomato ...

Allocation methodological choices in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a relevant issue for the Circular Bioeconomy context. The recent Product Environmental Footprint Guide from European Commission includes Formula (CFF) as new way to deal with energy recovery/recycling processes. This paper investigated CFF vs. other different LCA allocation methods Brazilian briquette production. A cradle-to-ga...

Mineral fertilizers are highly impactful in the agricultural sector, and animal manure can be an alternative to mitigate its impacts. The goal of this research was estimate potential environmental impacts on production soybean, maize, wheat at Lagoa do Sino Farm School from Federal University Sao Carlos, contemplating 2016/2017 cropping season testing replacement 100%, 50%, 30% chemical fertili...

life cycle assessment (lca) had proven to be an appropriate assessment tool for analysis of agri-food products by identifying, quantifying and evaluating the resources consumed and emissions released into the environment. this study was performed for evaluation the environmental impacts of potato agroecosystems based on nitrogen levels by using lca methodology. tuber yield mean during 1999-2013...

This study aims to develop a system for assessing the impact of the substances discharged from concrete production process on six environmental impact categories, i.e., global warming (GWP), acidification (AP), eutrophication (EP), abiotic depletion (ADP), ozone depletion (ODP), and photochemical oxidant creation (POCP), using the life a cycle assessment (LCA) method. To achieve this, this stud...
