| Abstract | The water footprint of palm oil biodiesel depends upon climate and production systems. Theweighted average of the total water footprint is 5,714 m3/ton in a study area which has a mean annualrainfall of 1,905 mm per annum and where the average Fresh fruit bunches (FFB) yield is 3.02 tonnes perannum. The share of indirect water footprint to the total water footprint of biodiesel is 99% and that dueto direct water footprint is 1% (Only blue water). The highest contributors to the indirect and direct waterfootprint are the water consumption of the oil palm crop and the water consumption in the production ofpalm oil biodiesel, respectively. From this study, Surat-Thani is the suitable area for using oil palm cropto produce biodiesel in water perspective. |
