Coconut milk
Climate footprint in kg CO2e/kg
Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in RoW Asia and Pacific. Coconut milk production mass balance is based on Zah and Hischier (2007), detailing coconut oil production, and World Bank (1986), the latter used to estimate the amount of husk in harvested coconuts. The use of by-products is not specified in these sources. Manufacturing energy assumed as in vegetable canning in appendix 6 of Carlsson-Kanyama and Faist (2000). Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Ambient. See more details as well as literature references in the methodoly report on: www.denstoreklimadatabase.dk.
Data on inputs and outputs of the food processing industry is modelled using: Zah and Hischier (2007); Carlsson-Kanyama and Faist (2000); World bank (1986).
