Life Cycle Assessment of Non-Food Crops
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a way of measuring the environmental, social or economic impact of a specific supply chain or product.
The technique measures the impact of all processes from cradle-to-grave – this includes processing the raw material, manufacturing, distribution and end-of-life use.
The NNFCC help companies access LCA information and interpret their results. We have been involved with a number of key LCA projects – providing new insight into the environmental performance of a number of non-food feedstocks.

Key Variables Report: Review of Transferability Issues for the Use of LCA / LCI Data from Non-UK Studies to a UK Perspective, NNFCC 07-004
26 Feb 2010
Recent interest in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) results concerning the greenhouse gas impacts of biofuels has arisen from the need for a sound evidence base on which to develop policies that assure delivery of climate change mitigation benefits from the introduction of biofuels as replacements for fossil fuels.
