A recent Life Cycle Assessment conducted by Sustainable Solutions Corporation reveals a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of U.S. Soy. Created for the United Soybean Board and the National Oilseed Processors Association, the assessment highlights a notable 22 percent decrease in the carbon footprint associated with U.S. production of crude soy oil, which is a key feedstock for U.S. biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel producers. Soybean production and oil processing constitute more than 40 percent of the carbon intensity score for soy biodiesel. The improvements are expected to translate into reductions across the clean fuels industry. Clean Fuels Alliance America assisted USB and NOPA in ensuring the data collected for processors in the report aligns with data specifications for GREET, so it could be easily integrated into GREET model updates. Veronica Bradley, Environmental Scientist at Clean Fuels Alliance America, adds, “We look forward to working with Argonne National Laboratory through the data quality assessment process to update the GREET model to reflect the latest improvements in the industry.”
