Life Cycle Analysis of Carbon Footprint and Carbon Stored on Tali Bamboo (Gigantochloa Apus (J.A. & J.H. Schultes) Kurz) Products using Life Cycle Assessment Approach

The lack of LCA research on the agricultural landscape led to a gap in terms of data availability. Even though there was a potential emission release uncontrolled and potential carbon stored on the product simultaneously. The study aims to analyze the life cycle (land management, extraction, production, distribution, usage, final treatment) of carbon footprint and carbon stored in tali bamboo species. It is shown there were five main products has made e.g., bamboo logs; bamboo slats; bamboo walls; bamboo buckets; and bamboo blinds with CO 2 release respectively 0,13 Kg CO 2 /product, 0,012 Kg CO 2 /product; 0,67 Kg CO 2 /product; 1,39 Kg CO 2 /product; and 2,31 Kg CO 2 /product. Furthermore, every product has stored CO 2 during its lifetime with the number consecutively 22,04 Kg CO 2 /product; 2,43 Kg CO 2 /product; 12,21 Kg CO 2 /product; 9,11 Kg CO 2 /product; and 5,05 Kg CO 2 /product. The range of products used varies from six to twenty-two months depending on its place and weather conditions. However, at the end of the product phase, the combustion process will be applied and would create the CO 2 released into the atmosphere.
