The whole process of biofuel production from Desmodesmus sp. EJ 8-10 cultivated in anaerobic digested wastewater (ADW) under the optimal temperature was evaluated by using the method of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The energy efficiency and environment emissions were under considerable for the corresponding parametric study. The functional unit was 1 kg microalgae. It was concluded that the harvest stage was responsible for the main energy consumption during the microalgal whole pyrolysis process. The energy conversion efficiency of the whole process was larger than 1, which indicated that the process was profitable. The environmental impact of the whole process was 1165.67 mPE T2000 , among which the primary impact on the environment was eutrophication that accounts for 57.36%, followed by photochemical ozone synthesis (22.56%), acidification (17.36%); and global warming (2.73%), respectively.

“…LCA is a quantitative tool for systematically assessing the environmental impact potential associated with a product or a service through its life cycle. This approach has been standardized in ISO 14040 series and been widely adopted to determine environmental implications in various sectors [5][6][7][8]. It is also a common tool utilized to investigate the environmental portfolio of agricultural and food industry in order to verify the primary impact contributors [9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Tea is the second most consumed beverage globally, yet its environmental implications are largely unknown. To overcome this knowledge gap, life-cycle analysis was conducted aiming to quantify the environmental impacts associated with tea production and consumption. To achieve this objective, Oolong tea production in Taiwan was selected to investigate the life-cycle impact in global warming potential (GWP) and eutrophication potential (EP) associated with one serving of hot tea consumed in Taiwan domestically and the international market in the U.S. and U.K. The results indicate that each serving of Oolong tea can result in a total of 28.6 g CO 2 -equivalent of GWP and 0.09 g N-equivalent of EP. Over 52% of GWP and 44% of EP are associated with the tea's cultivation, in which the application and production of agrochemicals accounts for 90% of GWP and 98% of EP. International consumption can increase GWP and EP by 19% and 26%, respectively, which is largely attributable to the change of cooking energy from natural gases to an electric-gas mixed scheme. The findings from this study articulate the environmental portfolio of Oolong tea. More importantly, we can identify opportunities to mitigate the environmental footprint of Oolong tea in order to advance future sustainability.
