The United Soybean Board commissioned Omni Tech International, Ltd. to perform an update of the data for soybean production and processing and soy feedstocks for the purpose of calculating LCAs and for other life cycle related tools. The LCA modeling was performed by Four Elements Consulting, LLC. The main objective of the project was to update the cradle-to-gate data for soybean production and conversion of soybean oil and meal into key soy-derived feedstocks (methyl soyate, soy lube base stock, soy polyol, and soy resin) used in fuel and industrial products in order to calculate life cycle inventories (LCIs). These updated data sets are now available and will be placed into the U.S. Life Cycle Inventory (U.S. LCI) Database, which is managed by the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Until now, only soybean production data have been included in the U.S. LCI Database; as a result of this study, data on soybean processing, refining, and conversion into key soy-derived feedstocks can be added to the Database.
