Sustainable transportation and mobility are key components and central to sustainable development. This research aims to reveal the macro-level social, economic, and environmental impacts of alternative vehicle technologies in the U.S. The studied vehicle technologies are conventional gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid with four different all-electric ranges, and full battery electric vehicles (B...
متن کاملLife Cycle Assessment of Hydrogen Use in Passenger Vehicles
This life cycle assessment (LCA) presents initial findings of potential environmental and human health impacts from fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEV). The LCA is significant because it is based on the ecoinvent database of emissions and background processes, and it assesses a broad range of emission pathways. Although the paper highlights key areas in the life cycle of FCHEV, including...

متن کاملLife-cycle Emissions Analysis of Alternative Fuels for Heavy Vehicles
This report examines available information on low and ultra-low sulfur diesel and alternative fuels for heavy vehicles in terms of their emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Most of this information is from overseas, and has been used to estimate emissions for heavy vehicles using such fuels in Australia. This is done within a life-cycle framework that considers both the pre-combus...
متن کاملSustainability Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Of Household Food Waste Management in Urban Areas
Background: Food waste is a very serious problem, it is proven that Indonesia is the second largest producer of food waste in the world. A limited waste management system will result in a decrease in environmental quality such as air pollution, water pollution, and soil pollution. So far, the waste management system is only limited to reducing waste generation. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a ...
