A life-cycle assessment (LCA) enables a detailed evaluation of the environmental performance of the palm oil refining sector as it is a tool to measure the environmental aspects and potentia; impacts related to the refining process. LCA compiles an inventory of the inflow (material/resource and energy) and outflows (solid waste, gaseous and liquid emissions), evaluates […]
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool to evaluate the environmental burdens associated with a product, process or activity by identifying and quantifying the energy and materials used and the wastes released to the environment, to assess the impact of those energy and materials used and released to the environment, and to identify and evaluate […]

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is the most holistic and comprehensive method which can be used in assessing the environmental burden and impact resulting from fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production. The system boundary was defined using a gate-to-gate approach, starting from land conversion, transplanting of seedlings into the plantation, right until FFB are delivered to the […]
The oil palm nursery is the first link in the palm oil supply chain: this is where the oil palm seedlings are produced for the cultivation of palms in plantations. LCA of the production of oil palm seedlings is a gate-to-gate study which starts at the nursery where the germinated seeds are sown and the […]
