Life cycle assessment of High Speed Rail in China

China has built the world’s largest High Speed Rail (HSR) network. Its environmental impacts have been examined by the means of life cycle assessment (LCA) which describes the whole picture of the HSR system instead of single stages, with a case study for the highspeed railway that links Beijing and Shanghai. The research employs the China-specific life cycle inventory database Chinese Core Lif...
