The results of the environmental impact assessment show the value of the global warming potential (GWP) of 304.73 kg CO 2 equivalent per ton of sugar products. The scope of the life cycle assessment simulation includes the planting of sugar cane in the process of sugar production (cradle to gate).
LCA simulations are carried out with the OpenLCA software, which is equipped with an ecoinvent database. The aim of this study is to measure the environmental impact of the sugar production process in Brazil.
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the most important methods for measuring the environmental impact of a process. In addition to increasing environmental awareness, the sugar industry must also use environmentally friendly and sustainable processes. Brazil is one of the largest sugar cane producers in the world, so dosing environmental impacts on the sugar production process in Brazil can be a reference for other countries. Sugar is one of the most important agricultural commodities for mankind.
