The value for GHG emissions is approximately half of the reported USDA-FPL pilot-scale results . Similarly, a higher sulfuric acid consumption in the CNC61 production process leads to a slightly higher value of AP. The LU indicator reflects the difference in the pulp input for the two different CNCs with values for CNC64 twice higher than that for CNC61. Regarding WU, the largest two contributors are the direct water consumption for CNC purification and the indirect water consumption for electricity generation (hydropower). WU for CNC64 is approximately 20% higher than that for CNC61. This is because the extra sugar layer for CNC64 is more demanding in the water-electricity nexus than in the case of the CNC61 product (23% more water, 34% more electricity).
