A Commodity Supply Mix for More Regionalized Life Cycle Assessments

چکیده
Supply chain information is invaluable to further regionalize product life cycle assessments (LCAs), but detailed linking production and consumption centers not always available. We introduce the commodity supply mix (CSM) defined as trade-volume-weighted average representing combined geographic areas for of a exported given market with goal (1) enhancing relevance inventory impact regionalization (2) allocating these impacts specific markets. apply CSM Brazilian soybean mapped by Trase obtain ecoregions river basins linked domestic exports China, EU, France, rest world, before quantifying damage biodiversity, water scarcity footprints. The EU had lowest potential biodiversity largest footprint following respective sourcing patterns in 12 18 basins. These results differed from scores obtained alone. can be derived at different scales (subnationally, internationally) using existing constitutes an additional step toward greater LCAs, particularly spatial variability such scarcity.

Agricultural data for Life Cycle Assessments
On a world scale, a net transport of P to the oceans occurs, maintained by weathering of minerals and by erosion. The soil plays a different role regarding phosphorus in different agricultural systems. Without adding fertilisers, a soil can supply P for a limited time, by weathering or by mineralisation of indigenous organic matter. When a higher productivity is aimed at, fertilisers have to be...

An inventory for Life Cycle Analysis of agricultural products must address questions of representatively and coherence of models. This paper discusses the possibilities of modelling the input and production of typical farms to establish inventories that are consistent with higher level statistical information. Energy use has been modelled for typical Danish farms and compared with the national ...
