Life Cycle Inventory of Biodiesel and Petroleum Diesel for Use in an Urban Bus

Year: 1998

Type: report

Abstract: This report presents the findings from a study of the life cycle inventories (LCIs) for petroleum diesel and biodiesel. An LCI is a comprehensive quantification of all the energy and environmental flows associated with a product from “cradle to grave.” It provides information on raw materials extracted from the environment; energy resources consumed; air, water, and solid waste emissions generated.
