Life cycle water consumption of low-carbon transportation fuels IEEE ISSST (May 2009)

The looming challenges of global warming and peak oil have begun to spur the development of alternatives to our current petroleum based transportation system. However, before these alternatives are implemented on a significant scale, it is important to assess these technologies with a broad lens and...

Zusammenfassung:The looming challenges of global warming and peak oil have begun to spur the development of alternatives to our current petroleum based transportation system. However, before these alternatives are implemented on a significant scale, it is important to assess these technologies with a broad lens and ensure that they will not introduce more problems than they will solve. In this study, a life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to explore one potential impact of particular interest in Arizona, the consumption of water.
