General comment Type of process: ordinary transforming activity Parent relation Ecospold2: none Tags: Macroeconomic Scenario: Business-as-Usual This dataset represents the operation of a mill with regards the processing of 1 kg of soybeans. The products and respective uses are indicated as follows: 1) crude oil: further refined to become edible or used as it is to produce biodiesel; 2) meal and hulls that are consumed as animal feed. Lecithin that is used as an emulsifier in the food industry is also reported as a third product in one literature, but its was disregarded as its amount represents less than 1% of total outputs and no economic market value for it was found. Although no primary data was obtained from producers, secondary data used in this dataset represents the general industrial process of most Brazilian mills (oil obtained via combination of mechanical and solvent extraction). Different sources vary mainly in terms of electricity consumption and type of energy feedstock used to supply the boiler. Data used in this dataset represents the average of 3 sources (indicated in the Bibliography); the exception applies to data gaps, in which case information from the existing ecoinvent dataset were adopted.
