Type: article
Abstract: Currently, environmental consideration becomes the most important issue in biodiesel production.The objective of this study is to evaluate environmental impact of biodiesel production using catalyst from crude palm oil in Aceh province.The results of this study show that biodiesel production from oil palm have differend resulted which is depent on various of material inputs.The environmental impact and energy consumption due to pre-harvest activity was higher compared to post harvest activity.The characteristics of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission value before stable productivity is 2.30-2.56kg-CO 2 eq./kg-BiodieselFuel from Crude Palm Oil (BDF-CPO).When the productivity has reached stability, the GHG value is 1.66-1.71kg-CO 2 eq./kg-BDF-CPO.The total value of energy consumption before stable production is 46.31-49.83MJ/kg-BDF-CPO.Utilization of agrochemical in form of fertilizer and plant protection generate significant contribution to environmental impact of biodiesel production from Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is 50.46% for scenario 1 and 68.14% for scenario 2. The combination reduction of CO 2 eq.emission values of before and after stable production for BDF-CPO is 37.83% for scenario 1 and 49.96% for scenario 2.
