Comparative life cycle assessment of rapeseed oil and palm oil

Abstract: Background, aim and scope The environmental effect of globalisation has been debated intensively in the last decades. Only few well-documented analyses of global versus local product alternatives exist, whilst recommendations on buying local are vast. At the same time, the

“…In some fields it is completely left on the field for mulching, while in others it is partially or totally collected for various purposes (composting, burning in boilers, etc.). In the scientific literature, various studies show availability factors ranging from 0 to 100% and compare the use of rachis for mulching to replace fertilizers and for energy production [76], [77]. The availability factor of rachis is preliminarly estimated through a uniform distribution with limits between 0-100%.…”

“…Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a methodology widely used to evaluate environmentally all kind of processes and products production (Hsu et al, 2010;Huo et al, 2009;Lardon., 2009;Schmidt, 2010). Economic assessment based on LCA methodology is also being used in literature (Lee et al, 2009;Huppes et al, 2010;Ouyang et al, 2009;Nassen., et al 2008).…”

“…O dendezeiro, espécie de palmeira oleaginosa pertencente à família Arecaceae, destaca-se das demais oleaginosas pela elevada produtividade de óleo, com rendimento anual de 4,0 a 6,0 t.ha , podendo produzir até 10 vezes mais óleo do que outras oleaginosas, o que o torna a espécie vegetal que apresenta a maior produtividade em óleo bruto (SUMATHI; CHAI; MOHAMED, 2008; QUEIROZ; FRANÇA; PONTE, 2012). As formas de cultivo e manejo convencional adotadas para a cultura do dendê têm causado diversos impactos negativos ao ambiente, destacando-se a perda de biodiversidade e alterações das propriedades físico-químicas do solo (REINHARDT; RETTENMAIER; GÄRTNER, 2007;SCHMIDT, 2007SCHMIDT, , 2010. A expansão de grandes áreas cultivadas nesse modelo, mesmo considerando o uso de áreas degradadas e a substituição de áreas de cultivo subespontâneo -populações naturais de dendezeiros predominantemente da variedade dura, que se expandiram em áreas abertas, exploradas pelo sistema extrativista -podem provocar significativos impactos ambientais negativos (CORLEY, 2009 …”
