  • How long does oil palm plantation last?
  • Whilst soybean, rapeseed and sunflower are annual crops, sown and harvested within the same twelve-month period, a single oil palm plantation is generally maintained for around 25–30 years, and includes seedling production and juvenile stages during which time no vegetable oil is produced.
  • How much CO2 does soybean production produce?
  • For instance, soybean cultivation emissions range from 0.27 to 3.89 kg CO 2e per kg oil. The range in cultivation emissions is lower for other oilseeds, but still varies 3.55-fold and 5.75-fold between rapeseed and sunflower production systems, respectively (Fig. 6). Solutions to reduce production stage emissions are specific for each system.
  • How can we improve sustainability in palm oil production?
  • Nevertheless, there remains considerable scope to improve sustainability within current production systems, including through increasing yields whilst limiting application of inputs with high carbon footprints, and in the case of palm oil through more widespread adoption of methane capture technologies in processing stages. 1. Introduction
  • Is rapeseed more productive than oil palm?
  • Whilst the carbon storage opportunity cost between these land uses is only 79.6 t, rapeseed is less productive than oil palm: within the systems presented here, 2.59 ha of rapeseed are required to provide the same quantity of oil per year as one hectare of oil palm.
  • What is the difference between canola oil and soybean oil?
  • Canola oil is about 2.5 times less saturated, 2.5 times more monounsaturated, and 2 times more polyunsaturated than soybean oil , which can impact the oleogel structures and thermal properties.
  • What percentage of soybean production growth is based on yield increases?
  • Meanwhile, yield increases are predicted to only account for 55% of overall production growth from soybean, and around 60% of overall production growth of oilseed rape and sunflower (OECD; FAO, 2018).
