Sustainability of Methylic and Ethylic Biodiesel Production Routes: Social and Environmental Impacts via Multi-criteria and Principal Component Analyses using Brazilian Case Studies is a groundbreaking methodology that provides a comprehensive assessment of the social and environmental sustainability of methylic and ethylic production routes. The book offers a detailed explanation of the key steps involved in evaluating the social and environmental impacts of biofuel production chains, encompassing an overview of biodiesel properties and its production chains, common metrics for environmental, social, and economic impacts, an exploration of sustainability indicator variabilities and the identification of similarities among different classes of sustainability indicators, and a discussion of techno-economic considerations. Additionally, several appendices are included, offering MATLAB codes for solving Principal Component Analysis and Multi-Criterial Sustainability Analysis problems in the context of biodiesel chains or in the context of agronomy and agronomics. This book serves as an invaluable resource for professionals engaged in biofuels and bioenergy, including scientists, technicians, managers, social workers, environmentalists, and policymakers.
Introduction:
The production of biofuels, particularly methylic and ethylic biodiesel, has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the dependence on fossil fuels. However, the sustainability of these production routes is a crucial concern that requires careful evaluation. This book aims to address this issue by presenting an innovative, quantitative methodology for assessing the social and environmental sustainability of methylic and ethylic production routes.
Methodology:
The book employs a multi-criteria and principal component analysis approach to evaluate the social and environmental impacts of methylic and ethylic production routes. Multi-criteria analysis involves the use of multiple criteria to assess the sustainability of a system, taking into account various dimensions such as environmental, social, and economic aspects. Principal component analysis is a statistical technique used to identify patterns and relationships among a set of variables, allowing for a more efficient and effective analysis of complex data.
Case Studies:
To illustrate the application of the methodology, the book utilizes Brazilian case studies. These case studies provide a detailed examination of the social and environmental impacts of methylic and ethylic biodiesel production in different regions of Brazil. The analysis includes a comprehensive review of the production chains, common metrics for environmental, social, and economic impacts, and the identification of sustainability indicators.
Results:
The book presents the results of the multi-criteria and principal component analysis in a clear and concise manner. The analysis identifies key sustainability indicators and highlights the similarities and differences among different production routes. It also provides insights into the techno-economic considerations that impact the sustainability of biofuel production.
Conclusion:
Sustainability of Methylic and Ethylic Biodiesel Production Routes: Social and Environmental Impacts via Multi-criteria and Principal Component Analyses using Brazilian Case Studies is a valuable resource for anyone working on biofuels and bioenergy. The book offers a comprehensive and systematic approach to assessing the social and environmental sustainability of methylic and ethylic production routes, providing valuable insights for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers. By adopting a multi-criteria and principal component analysis approach, the book contributes to the development of more sustainable and environmentally friendly biofuel production systems.
