Recycled Vegetable Oil Available

CanESS > Food Production > Recycled Vegetable Oil Available
Recycled Vegetable Oil Available is a calculator that simulates the production, use, and trade of vegetable oil. It comprises 3 procedures:

(1) Vegetable Oil Use

InputsOutputs
crop for person food (tonnes/year) from Food Biomass Requirementsvegatable oil use (tonnes/year)
oil production feedstock intensity (intensity per oil crop type)

Vegetable Oil Use uses crop for person food (tonnes/year) from Food Biomass Requirements and oil production feedstock intensity (intensity per oil crop type) to determine vegetable oil use (tonnes/year), which is passed on to the following procedure.

(2) Trade

InputsOutputs
vegatable oil use (tonnes/year)vegatable oil import (tonnes/year)
vegatable oil export (tonnes/year)vegatable oil production required (tonnes/year)
vegatable oil import share (tonnes/year)

The Trade procedure uses vegatable oil export (tonnes/year), vegatable oil import share (tonnes/year), vegatable oil use (tonnes/year) from (1) Vegetable Oil Use to compute the quantity of vegatable oil imports (tonnes/year) and the domestic vegatable oil production required (tonnes/year).

(3) Vegetable Oil Reuse

InputsOutputs
vegatable oil use (tonnes/year)used vegatable oil available (tonnes/year)
vegatable oil reuse fraction

Vegatable Oil Reuse uses vegatable oil use (tonnes/year) and the vegatable oil reuse fraction () to determine the amount of vegetable oil available for reuse and saves it in the variable used vegatable oil available (tonnes/year).
