A Comparative Study of Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Canola Production

In this research, the energy flow and production energy indices of canola cultivation in Trakya province of Turkey, Golestan and Mazandaran provinces of Iran were compared. Diesel fuel and chemical fertilizer inputs were the highest consumer of energy in the production of canola in these three regions. The results indicated that despite the higher energy use of machinery in Trakya province of T...

Estimation of Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Transportation in Beef Cattle Production

Accounting for transportation is an important part of the life cycle analysis (LCA) of beef cattle production because it is associated with energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper describes the development and application of a model that estimates energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of transport in beef cattle production. The animal transport model is based on th...

GreenSTEP: Greenhouse Gas Statewide Transportation Emissions Planning Model

Global warming is likely one of the most serious and urgent issues facing the U.S. transportation sector. Major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector will be needed in order to stabilize the climate and avoid the most serious effects of global warming. Travel models can play an important role in evaluating potential policies for reducing transportation sector gre...
