Carbon payback times for crop-based biofuel expansion in the tropics: the effects of changing yield and technology (2008, background): “Conventional oil supplies may be nearing peak production, and future, unconventional petroleum sources will be more energy intensive to produce (Farrell and Brandt 2006, Brandt and Farrell 2007).”
Depletion of fossil fuels and anthropogenic climate change—A review (2013, background): “This is motivated by the established fact that unconventional fossil fuels have much larger emission footprints (Brandt and Farrell, 2007).”
Economic and environmental analysis of a Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) facility for oil recovery from Canadian oil sands (2015, background): “Also other works present a discussion about the environmental impact of the Canadian oil sands, but they not provide models to implement [20–23].”
Fossil fuel depletion and socio-economic scenarios: An integrated approach (2014, methodology): “The model computes the CO2 emissions associated with the use of fossil fuels: coefficients from (BP, 2013) for conventional and from (Brandt and Farrell, 2007; Howarth et al., 2011) for unconventional.”
The limits of transport decarbonization under the current growth paradigm (2020, background): “Coal-to-liquids (CTL) and gas-to-liquids (GTL) refer to the transformation of coal and natural gas into liquid hydrocarbons and have carbon emissions similar to or greater than those of oil-based liquid fuels [79].”
China's growing methanol economy and its implications for energy and the environment (2012, background): “In contrast, the lifecycle CO2 emissions are 4.03 t CO2 per ton of gasoline, with 3.14 t CO2 per ton of gasoline at the end of the car’s exhaust pipe (USEPA, 2005) and a further 22% of CO2 emissions from upstream processing (Brandt and Farrell, 2007).”
