Does car sharing reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Assessing the modal shift and lifetime shift rebound effects from a life cycle perspective

Applying life cycle thinking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road projects

In this article, the evaluation of Greenhouse gases in road construction projects is approached from a life cycle perspective. The elements which have a major contribution to emissions are identified in order to develop a strategy to control and reduce them. For this purpose, a management information system (CO2NSTRUCT) was developed, supported by a database obtained through specialized bibliog...

Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of Marcellus shale gas

This study estimates the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the production of Marcellus shale natural gas and compares its emissions with national average US natural gas emissions produced in the year 2008, prior to any significant Marcellus shale development. We estimate that the development and completion of a typical Marcellus shale well results in roughly 5500 t of carbon dioxid...

Life-cycle Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Irrigated Maize: the Life-cycle Analysis

The life-cycle analysis of this multi-institutional project concentrated on determining the greenhouse gas emissions involved in pre-farm, on-farm and post-farm activities involved in the use of maize for the manufacture of corn chips. When the emissions are all expressed in terms of CO2-equivalents (CO2-e), then pre-farm emissions comprise about 5% of the life-cycle emissions, on-farm activiti...
