How can LNG-fuelled ships meet decarbonisation targets? An environmental and economic analysis (2021, background): “For upstream carbon dioxide emissions, 440 gCO2/kg HFO and 524 gCO2/kg diesel is associated with the production up to point of use [37].”
Real-time carbon accounting method for the European electricity markets (2018, background): “References References [1] International Energy Agency, World Energy Balances 2018 (2018).”
High-resolution large-scale onshore wind energy assessments: A review of potential definitions, methodologies and future research needs (2021, neutral): “These life-cycle environmental burdens of onshore wind power are well known [272,274] and in general lowcompared to other technologies with the exception of indicators related to toxicity and metal demand [229,230,275,289].”
The ecoinvent database version 3 (part II): analyzing LCA results and comparison to version 2 (2016, methodology): “Since the Consequential version aims at looking at consequences of changes (Earles and Halog 2011; Ekvall and Weidema 2004; Zamagni et al. 2012), its underlying modeling principles are fundamentally different (Wernet et al. 2016).”
A critical view on the current application of LCA for new technologies and recommendations for improved practice (2020, methodology): “This is highly relevant, since background processes usually make up to 99% of all unit processes in a product system and only occasionally fall below 95% (Wernet et al., 2016).”
