A case study for Denmark compared rapeseed-based biodiesel production with four other vegetable oils such as sunflower, palm, soybean, and peanut ( Schmidt, 2015 ). The biodiesels derived from rapeseed and sunflower oils had the smallest environmental impact.
Is rapeseed oil-based biodiesel production a life cycle assessment?
Life cycle assessment of rapeseed oil-based biodiesel (BD) production was presented. Influences of process operating conditions and production scales were investigated. The systems had GWP of 2.63 (large-scale) and 2.88 (small-scale) tCO 2 -eq/tBD. Rapeseed agriculture stage caused more than 65% of the CO 2 emissions.
