List of processes that are major contributors for the identified impact categories for both petro-FA and PKO-FA
Petro-FA | PKO-FA | |
---|---|---|
Climate change | N-Olefin Ethylene Fuel combustion (process) Aluminum powder Chemical plant (<5 %) |
Land use change for palm plantation Palm plantation operation Fuel combustion emissions (transportation) |
Fossil fuel depletion | N-Olefin Ethylene Fatty alcohol production (<5 %) Fuel combustion (process) Aluminum powder (<5 %) |
Fuel combustion (process, transportation)
Electricity production |
Natural land transformation | Oil extraction for n-olefins, ethylene and fuel for transportation NG extraction for fuel for process Chemical plants Aluminum powder |
Land use change for palm plantation Land use change for oil extraction (<0.3 %) |
Eutrophication | Sulfidic tailings for production of Copper used in chemical plants Spoil from mining of coal used for electricity production Production of Gold used in electronics for chemical plants Treatment of dross from electrolysis for Copper and Aluminum production Incineration of solid waste |
Fertilizer use for palm plantations Irrigation for palm plantations Sulfidic tailings for production of Copper used in chemical plants Spoil from mining of coal used for electricity production |
Agricultural land occupation | Wood used for building material in chemical plants (<0.1 % of impacts for PKO-FA) | 99+% from palm plantations |
Water depletion | Aluminum powder (~50 %) N-olefin Chemical plant Electricity used during FA production |
Palm FFB growth Fuel combustion (process, transportation) Chemical plant Electricity used during FA production |
