Infos

Examining the economic, energy and emissions impications of various road transport fuel alternatives, this volume describes the methodology of life-cycle analysis, the technologies for fuel production and use in vehicles, and the overall life-cycle comparisons between fuels.

---

This study examines, in a national context, the overall economic, energy and emissions impications of various road transport fuel alternatives. Comparisons are made on a life-cycle basis for each fuel taking into consideration the energy use and emissions associated with its production, distribution and end-use in vehicles. Volume 1 describes the methodology of life-cycle analysis, the technologies for fuel production and use in vehicles, the overall life-cycle comparisons between fuels, and brief details of their economics. The relative merits of each alternative fuel and the factors constraining their market penetration are also summarized.

Inhalt

Objectives and scope of the study; life-cycle analysis methodology; key assumptions and simplifications; outline of fuel technologies; summary of vehicle technologies; overall life-cycle analysis; market penetration of alternative fuels.
