1. Life cycle CO2 emissions from green diesel and biodiesel are ~1,000 g CO2eq/L, and 1,100 gCO2eq/L, respectively.

1a) What would be the value of the LCFS credit for each type of fuel, on a per liter basis, given that the 2022 average LCFS credit value was US$130 per tonne of CO2e?

1. 1B) Which pathway generates the greatest GHG reduction per tonne of canola feedstock?

2. 1C) Using the process yield data presented in the lecture slides, how much land is required to

   produce 150 million liters per year (MMLY) of each type of diesel biofuel? How does this compare with the estimated net land required to produce 150 MMLY of ethanol from corn (from assignment #1)?

Conversion Factors and other data: 1 acre = 0.4 Ha 1 US Gallon = 3.78 L 1 bushel = 56 lbs (corn) = 60 lbs (wheat) Canola crop yield: 1.44 tonnes/Ha Canola Composition: 420 kg oil/tonne canola Diesel emissions: 2,650 g CO2eq/L

Gasoline emissions: 2,350 g CO2eq/L
