Environmental benefits of substituting talc by sugarcane bagasse fibers as reinforcement in polypropylene composites: Ecodesign and LCA as strategy for automotive components
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was performed for the two alternatives, from raw extractions to the end-of-life (EOL) phase of sugarcane bagasse-PP and talc-PP composite, where data gathered in different industries in Brazil were included in the LCA GaBi software.
Journal ArticleDOI
LCA of eucalyptus wood charcoal briquettes
Patrick Rousset,Armando Caldeira-Pires,Alexander Rudolph Marin Sablowski,Thiago Oliveira Rodrigues +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the environmental impact assessment for wood charcoal briquettes produced from eucalyptus wood in Brazil, with specific reference to those impacts associated with Global Warming Potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of removing straw from soil for bioenergy: An LCA of ethanol production using total sugarcane biomass
Armando Caldeira-Pires,Anthony Benoist,Sandra M. Luz,Vanessa Chaves Silverio,Cristiano M. Silveira,Frederico Santos Machado +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a life cycle assessment of using straw along with bagasse for bioethanol production is presented, focusing on the global warming potential (GWP), characterizing the biotic and fossil carbon flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainability of the Biorefinery Industry for Fuel Production
Armando Caldeira-Pires,Sandra M. Luz,Silvia Palma-Rojas,Thiago Oliveira Rodrigues,Vanessa Chaves Silverio,Frederico Vilela,Paulo Cesar Barbosa,Ana Maria Alves +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of life cycle assessments (LCAs), life-cycle cost assessments (LCCAs) and structural path analysis (SPA), this last one depicting a sectorial perspective rather than LCA process level data approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
GHG balance of crude palm oil for biodiesel production in the northern region of Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate crude palm oil's GHG balance through a life-cycle assessment approach, based on the average data of an ideal palm oil system in the northern region of Brazil.
