Abstract
This work deals with the comparative analysis of environmental impacts of biodiesel produced from Jatropha curcas Rapeseed and Palm oil by applying the life cycle assessment and ecoefficiency concepts The environmental impact indicators considered in the present paper include global warming potential GWP CO2 equivalent acidification potential AP SO2 equivalent and eutrophication potential EP NO3 equivalent Different weighting techniques have been used to present and evaluate the environmental characteristics of biodiesel With the assistance of normalization values the ecoefficiency was demonstrated in this work The results indicate that the energy consumption of biodiesel production is lowest in Jatropha while AP and EP are more in case of Jatropha than that of Rapeseed and Palm oil
