FAQ

  • Can rapeseed oil be used as a carbon storage opportunity?
  • Allocated to refined oil, this carbon storage opportunity gain corresponds to a 0.46 kg CO 2e reduction in life cycle emissions per kg rapeseed oil produced in this system (Fig. 4 c).
  • How much CO2 does rapeseed produce?
  • Land use emissions from other rapeseed production systems ranged from 0.90 to 4.91 kg CO 2e per kg refined oil (Fig. 4 c; Supplementary Data 12), whilst sunflower land use emissions fell within a similar range from 0.99 to 6.90 kg CO 2e per kg refined oil (Fig. 4 d; Supplementary Data 13).
  • Does rapeseed produce more animal feed than oil palm?
  • Rapeseed also yields more animal feed than oil palm per hectare: based on the present analysis, one hectare of rapeseed production in Germany yields 2121.82 kg pressed seed cake per year, whereas one hectare of oil palm production in Indonesia only yields 460.16 kg palm kernel meal.
  • What is the carbon storage opportunity cost of temperate forest and rapeseed?
  • The carbon storage opportunity cost between 2.59 ha of temperate forest and rapeseed is 206.4 t, higher than that of the oil palm system (153.4 t). We alternatively compare the total carbon stocks of these two scenarios assuming that one offsets the other (Fig. 3 c).
  • Why are rapeseed and sunflower production a problem in Iran?
  • Production of soybean, rapeseed and sunflower in Iran is associated with high emissions from electricity generation, used to power irrigation systems. Similarly, high GHG emissions from seed drying and storage in some regions are a result of high electricity production footprints (Supplementary Data 1, Supplementary Data 22–25).
  • Will vegetable oil demand and production continue to grow?
  • Vegetable oil demand and production is projected to continue to grow, particularly in developing regions in line with rising per capita income.
