“…The potential impacts of using biomass for vehicle fuel production on the environment and human health are subject of ongoing research; a large number of LCA studies for a lot of different feedstocks and fuels used in passenger vehicles has recently been published, e.g. in [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], showing large variations in terms of LCA results. Due to the intrinsic complexity in the LCA of biofuel chains with issues ranging from location specific aspects such as specific crop yields and water scarcity to controversial topics such as indirect land use as well as interaction with food markets, we consider a selection of ''representative'' biofuel chains for comparative use as impractical and therefore these fuels as being out of scope of our current assessment.…”

“…Early LCA studies (Azapagic, 1999;Baumann, 1996) assessed the environmental impacts of the industrial products, especially the energy (Dandres, 2014;Rocha et al, 2014), building (Wu et al, 2012b;Takano et al, 2014), and waste management (Niero et al, 2014). The studies relating with food system has began to be concerned (Kulak et al, 2013;Ruviaro et al, 2012).…”

“…O ciclo inicia-se quando são requeridos os recursos da natureza, sejam materiais ou energéticos, para a manufatura de um determinado produto ou processo e finaliza-se após o cumprimento de sua função, retornando ao meio ambiente. A Figura 1 ilustra os estágios típicos do ciclo de vida de um produto (ROCHA et al, 2014;RUBIN;DAVIDSON, 2001). O processo para a análise do ciclo de vida geralmente compreende uma estrutura metodológica normatizada internacionalmente pela ISO, em que são determinadas as fases e os procedimentos gerais da Análise do ciclo de vida de veículos convencional, elétrico e híbrido plug-in para condições brasileiras SOUZA, L.
