“…HDRD such as HVO, can be produced from the same feedstock as FAME, e.g., vegetable oils and animal fats, through a hydrotreating process. However, HDRD can be produced from a wider range of feedstock than FAME, and lignocellulosic feedstock, such as agricultural residues, forest residues, pulp and paper waste/by-product, are available with additional processing prior to hydrotreatment (Wong et al, 2016). The product of the process is paraffinic diesel and the plant capital costs are higher than that of transesterification process.…”

“…Electricity has been modelled as a specific source of electricity used in different countries, rather than as marginal electricity. In this article, all loads were considered using fossil diesel, not HVO or other non-fossil fuels [128]. Production capital, such as construction and transport vehicles, as well as the transport of workers to installations and electricity for offices, have been systematically omitted.…”

First, second, third, and fourth-generation biofuels are continuously evolving as a promising substitute to petrodiesel catalyzed by energy depletion, economic and environmental considerations. Bio-diesel can be synthesized from various biomass sources, which are commonly divided into FAME and renewable biodiesel. FAME biodiesel is generally produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils and fats while renewable diesel is produced by hydro-deoxygenation of vegetable and waste oils and fats. The different generation, processing technologies and standards for FAME and renewable biodiesel are reviewed. Finally, the life cycle analysis and production cost of conventional and renewable biodiesel are described.

“…As regards Monte Carlo simulations, the typical number amounted to 10,000, although the figures varied from 300 (Muñoz et al., 2020) to 10,000,000 (Wong et al., 2016). In the vast majority of cases, simulations were directly run on the input parameters’ uncertainty ranges, although pre‐filtering by removing non‐influential parameters and feeding only the relevant ones into the Monte Carlo‐based UA was performed through regression (Hsu et al., 2010; Jaxa‐Rozen et al., 2021) or OAT‐SA (Chiu & Lo, 2018).…”

In this study, we review approaches for uncertainty appraisal in the life cycle assessment literature. We cover the acknowledgment of stochastic and epistemic uncertainty in uncertainty and sensitivity analysis and knowledge quality assessment, respectively. Consistent with previous works, our findings indicate that uncertainty is only appraised in a few studies on life cycle assessment. Most of these contributions cover only one of the phases of life cycle assessment, mainly the life cycle inventory phase. Less attention has been devoted to the phases of goal and scope definition and life cycle impact assessment. Additionally, in most studies, uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis have been applied independently, as it is wrongly assumed they cover different uncertainty spaces. We also identify the scope for improvement in the appraisal of epistemic uncertainty and the correct definition of the probability distribution of the uncertain factors. We conclude by highlighting studies in which sensible practices have been adopted, identifying open challenges, and suggesting possible ways forward.
