Vegetable oils vary widely in terms of sustainability - Popular Science
2022年3月31日 · Capturing and using it as a source of energy using biogas capture technologies, like covered lagoon systems or contact reactors, can drastically reduce the carbon footprint of palm oil...
More sustainable vegetable oil: Balancing productivity with carbon ...
2022年7月10日 · This unified, systematic analysis reveals the carbon impacts of vegetable oil production decisions at a global scale, and provides information on how to reduce GHG emissions, both within and between crop systems.
Here, we compare the species richness and carbon footprints associated with an annual production of one litre of vegetable oil for the world’s seven largest oil crops: oil palm, soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, groundnut, coconut, and olive.
The future of carbon labeling – Factors to consider
2023年3月27日 · Drawing on economic and behavioral theories, we propose that, to assist consumers in identifying changes in consumption that contribute to significant reductions in their climate impact, a carbon label must enable comparisons between product groups and not only within narrowly defined product groups.

2022年3月16日 · Here, we present the greenhouse gas emissions and respective meta data for every product in this dataset. The Carbon Catalogue provides each product with name and description, PCF (in kg CO 2...
A multilevel carbon and water footprint dataset of food
2021年5月7日 · Here we introduce the SU-EATABLE LIFE database, a multilevel database of carbon (CF) and water (WF) footprint values of food commodities, based on a standardized methodology to extract...
Life cycle assessment of five vegetable oils - ScienceDirect
2015年1月15日 · Results for five different refined vegetable oils, per tonne refined oil. Global warming results are shown incl. biogenic carbon, i.e. with a negative contribution from the CO 2-uptake in the cultivation stage which ends up as stored carbon in the oil. The biogenic carbon is specified in Table 5.
More sustainable vegetable oil: Balancing productivity with carbon ...
2022年7月10日 · Intensive cultivation and post-harvest vegetable oil production stages are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Variation between production systems and reporting disparity have resulted in discordance in previous emissions estimates. The aim of this study was to assess global systems-wi …
More sustainable vegetable oil: balancing productivity with carbon …
2021年5月17日 · The resulting dataset reflects almost 6,000 producers in 38 countries, and is representative of over 74% of global vegetable oil production. Determination of the carbon cost of agricultural land occupation revealed that carbon storage potential drives variation in production GHG emissions, and indicates that expansion of production in low ...
Carbon Footprint Management for a Sustainable Oil Palm Crop
2021年7月17日 · Palm oil is the most used vegetable oil (76.0 million tons), with 32.9% of the world’s fats and oil production and a potential to reach 46% by 2050 [8].
