Results for each kg of LITE 2002 Produced Impact category Unit Nut China Abiotic depletion kg Sb-eq 2.21E-06 Abiotic depletion (fossil fuels) MJ 31.7 Global warming (GWP100a)* kg CO2-eq 1.57 Ozone layer depletion (ODP) CFC-11-eq 1.14E-07 Photochemical oxidation kg C2H4-eq 7.43E-04 Acidification kg SO2-eq 6.64E-03 Eutrophication kg PO4- eq 2.06E-03 *Excluding CO2 storage, only production
- LITE 2002 Global Warming Potential goes significantly down if CO2 sequestered by the cashew tree is taken into account.
- LITE 2002 shows much lower Global Warming Potential than other petro-based amines.
- LITE 2002 shows much lower abiotic depletion potential of fossil fuels than petro-based amines.
Conclusion
- LCA is a process to evaluate/quantify the environmental burdens associated with a product, process, or activity by identifying and quantifying energy and materials used and wastes released to the environment during their life cycle
- CNSL derivatives considered in this study have high bio-content.
- Compared to petro-based materials, Global Warming Potential goes significantly down when CNSL derivatives are used due to CO2 uptake by cashew trees.
- CNSL -based derivatives showed lower abiotic depletion potential of fossil fuels than petro -based materials.
