Résumé :	This study evaluates the energy and carbon footprints and land, water, and labor requirements of biodiesel production from canola in Western Australia (WA). The results show that canola-based biodiesel leads to limited energy profit and CO2 equivalent (CO2-e) emissions savings. Even when all byproduct are utilized, a relatively low output/input energy ratio of 1.72 and a CO2-e emissions savings of only 0.52 kg of CO2-e/L of biodiesel are obtained under the WA conditions considered in this study. A land requirement of 1.66 × 10−3 ha/L of biodiesel means that canola-based biodiesel seems to also be limited to
