• Well-to-wheels energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of ethanol from corn, sugarcane and cellulosic biomass for US use (2012, background): “GREET takes into account GHG emissions from NG production and distribution (such as methane leakage during these activities (see Burnham et al 2012)) as well as those from NG combustion.”
• Greater focus needed on methane leakage from natural gas infrastructure (2012, neutral): “tE RE f ðx; tEÞdx dtE: [4]”
• Climate benefits of natural gas as a bridge fuel and potential delay of near-zero energy systems (2016, result): “Some of the apparent disagreement among prior studies was due to the fact that different studies assumed different reference coal energy systems [1,6,12,43,44].”
• Cornucopia or curse? Reviewing the costs and benefits of shale gas hydraulic fracturing (fracking) (2014, neutral): “It also has carbon benefits as well [11].”
• Integrated life-cycle assessment of electricity-supply scenarios confirms global environmental benefit of low-carbon technologies (2014, methodology): “The ecoinvent process natural gas, at production (region North America), with updated fugitive methane emissions (61), was used as proxy for the natural gas extraction process (60).”
• The limits of bioenergy for mitigating global life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels (2017, methodology): “For example, the Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) model, among others, has been used to quantify the lifecycle (LC) 100year global warming potential (GWP100) CO2-equivalent (CO2e) emissions attributable to biomass- and fossil fuel-derived transportation”
