Abstract

Indonesia, as the foremost producer of palm oil globally, faces crucial environmental challenges. Besides palm oil production plays an important role in economic growth and national development, it also has environmental consequences from the production process. Crude Palm Oil (CPO) Industries face challenges balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability. This research carries out an environmental impact analysis of CPO production with the Life Cycle Assessment method using openLCA software 2.03 with CML-IA Baseline and ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H). Scope of this research adopts cradle-to-gate analysis with declaration unit of 1 kg CPO product. In this analysis, it was found that CPO production had a significant impact on GWP, Terrestrial Eco-toxicity Potential, and Land Use Change. So this research also explores the environmental impact of increased Oil Extraction Rate (OER) scenario with an OER of 21% and 22% compared to OER in current production activities. The research showed that all impacts decreased when OER was increased, impacts decreased of around 3% at OER 21% and decreased of around 8% at OER 22%. These findings confirm the potential feasibility of implementation based on increasing OER in the Palm Oil Industry to achieve targets for sustainable improvement.

Abstract

Ammonia is a fundamental component in fertilizer and chemical manufacturing processes around the world, but its production is a significant contributor to CO2 emissions in chemical industry. Implementation of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) offers an alternative decarbonisation strategy to mitigate CO2 emissions in ammonia production. This study assesses the environmental performance of ammonia production through life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. Environmental impacts are calculated using openLCA software with various impact assessment methods, including CML IA Baseline, Impact 2002+, Recipe 2016 Midpoint (H), and AWARE. The study scope encompasses the cradle-to-grave analysis, from the extraction of raw materials and transportation to ammonia production, main processes, distribution, and consumer product consumption, with a declared unit of 1-kg ammonia product. Our findings showed that CO2 removal and Power Plant in core processes in the core process as the most significant contributors to Global Warming Potential. Therefore, sensitivity analysis was conducted by reducing CO2 emission by 10% and 70% through CCUS implementation. The results showed that the CCUS implementation could reduce Global Warming Potential by up to 43%.
