Life Cycle Assessment of Organic Arabica Coffee Products
Abstract
Upstream to downstream activities of organic Arabica coffee in
Klungkung Village can cause environmental pollution and have
the potential to be a contributor to increased greenhouse gases
(GHG) and inefficient use of energy. On the upstream side,
Arabica coffee cultivation activities use organic fertilizers, but the
type and dosage of organic fertilizers are without proper
knowledge. On the downstream side, it uses various technologies
and produces various wastes that are not yet environmentally
friendly. This study aims to determine how much the impact of
processing organic Arabica coffee products on the environment
can be reduced so that the product can be said to be feasible as
an environmentally friendly product. The method used is Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA) which has stages, goals and scope, life
cycle inventory, life cycle impact assessment, and interpretation.
Processing organic Arabica coffee products produces a GWP of
18.0589 kg CO2-eq, and the energy use efficiency shows a NER
value of 0.03 and a NEV of -33.12. The recommended alternative
improvements are making all solid waste into organic fertilizer
and anaerobic handling of liquid waste to produce biogas which
can be used as an alternative fuel to replace LPG in the roasting
process. If the alternative recommendations for improvement
are implemented, it can reduce the GWP value to 6.3514 kg CO2-
eq and increase the efficiency of energy use consisting of NER
values of 4.53 and NEV of 126.46.
