Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Asphalt Pavement Construction: A Case Study in China
In China, the construction of asphalt pavement has a significant impact on the environment, and energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from asphalt pavement construction have been receiving increasing attention in recent years. At present, there is no universal criterion for the evaluation of GHG emissions in asphalt pavement construction. This paper proposes to define the system boundar...
متن کاملThe Greenhouse Gas Emission from Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Construction in China
This study proposes an inventory analysis method to evaluate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Portland cement concrete pavement construction, based on a case project in the west of China. The concrete pavement construction process was divided into three phases, namely raw material production, concrete manufacture and pavement onsite construction. The GHG emissions of the three phases are...
متن کاملCalculating inter-sectoral carbon flows of a mining sector via hypothetical extraction method
Mining is among the oldest industries. It is the primary source of raw materials for most of the sectors. Little is known about the complex inter-sectoral carbon linkages of the mining industry. In this work, we estimate the inter- and intra-sectoral carbon linkage impacts of the mining sector across ten major economies by applying an input-output model, and the hypothetical extraction method a...
متن کاملCapitalizing Green Pavement: A Method and Valuation
The use of recycling techniques in pavement construction offers significant benefits of resource conservation and emission reduction. While the environmental benefits are generally considered as business expenses, a new trend is to turn sustainable construction into profit. By generating financial revenue via carbon trading mechanism, asphalt producers and road builders can compensate their sus...
متن کاملLife Cycle Building Carbon Emissions Assessment and Driving Factors Decomposition Analysis Based on LMDI—A Case Study of Wuhan City in China
Carbon emissions calculation at the sub-provincial level has issues in limited data and non-unified measurements. This paper calculated the life cycle energy consumption and carbon emissions of the building industry in Wuhan, China. The findings showed that the proportion of carbon emissions in the construction operation phase was the largest, followed by the carbon emissions of the indirect en...
