Abstract: A customized LCA-based tool (RenovaCalc) was developed by a multidisciplinary team (specialists in LCA, LUC, GIS), to perform calculations and support the RenovaBio certification scheme. The structure of RenovaCalc is based on the attributional LCA approach of \ "well to ...
Abstract: Land Use Change (LUC) has great relevance for Brazilian overall CO2 emissions. Considering its relationship to agricultural production, especially for biofuels and biomaterials production, it becomes paramount to understand and replicate improvements on the methodologies to measure LUC in&#x...
Abstract: The creation of reliable, consistent and transparent regionalized LCIs represents a core purpose of the Sustainable Recycling Industries-Life Cycle Inventories (SRI-LCI) project. SRI-LCI was a program funded by Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO) and implemented by ecoinvent&#...
Abstract: Soybean planting in Itapetininga and Itapeva represents 30% of the state of São Paulo. There are regions where corn and soybean crop rotations are used, stimulating greater biological diversity and chemical quality (conservation technology). The productivity of an area is known...
Abstract: In agricultural product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), emissions or removals of carbon (C) from land-use change can highly affect the global warming. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts of biomass C values and stock change factors on land use change ...
Abstract: Sugarcane outstands as an important renewable source of energy with expected steady production growth. However, expansion of sugarcane is critical, since the environmental performance of ethanol may be affected by GHG emissions derived from LUC. On the other hand, livestock farming...
Resumo: Práticas orgânicas bem sucedidas quando socializadas com outros agricultores potencializam o processo de transição agroecológica. Atividades como dias de campo em propriedades rurais são verdadeiros espaços nos quais as experiências são demonstradas por meio da metodologia campesino a campesin...
Abstract: In order to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission targeted in the 2015 Paris Agreement, the RenovaBio was instituted in Brazil aiming to encourage the increase of biofuels production in a more sustainable way, through the emission of decarbonisation&#x...
Abstract: In 2017, Brazil established the National Biofuel Policy (RenovaBio), a state program that aims to boost the production and use of biofuels in the country in more sustainable standards, through efficiency gains and reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in productive pro...
Resumo: Na década de 70 na França e no Brasil emergem novos estilos de produção ecológicos, em oposição ao modelo de agricultura convencional, apoiados por ONGs e por profissionais especialmente das ciências agrárias. No Brasil evolui progressivamente sob a influência do guia conceitual...
