Wells to Wire: Life Cycle Assessment of Natural Gas-Fired Electricity by Sarah Marie JordaanEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 124 Pages | ISBN : 3030719707 | 8.3 MB
This book presents an unbiased, comprehensive examination of the state of knowledge for life cycle assessments (LCAs) of natural gas-fired electricity, covering a suite of environmental impact categories. An exploration of the life cycle environmental impacts of gas-fired electricity is used to introduce the field of LCA, advancements in methods and data, and the limitations thereof. Natural gas, particularly as a fuel for electricity generation, serves as a dichotomy within energy and environmental systems analysis. While the cleanest burning fossil fuel, it is not without impacts, making it an excellent case study for introducing life cycle assessment.
