The technologies and practices that have enabled the recent boom in shale gas production also brought attention to environmental impacts of its use. It has been debated whether fugitive methane emissions during natural transmission outweigh lower carbon dioxide combustion when compared coal petroleum. Using current state knowledge from gas, conventional coal, petroleum, we estimated up-to-date life-cycle greenhouse emissions. In addition, developed distribution functions for key parameters...
This study examines the vehicle-cycle and vehicle total life-cycle impacts of substituting lightweight materials into vehicles. We determine part-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emission ratios by collecting material substitution data evaluating that alongside known mass-based GHG (using updating Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model) associated with pair substitutions. Several parts are lightweighted via substitution, using from a U.S. Department Energy report, to emissions. then examine...
Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory expanded the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET) model incorporated fuel economy electricity of alternative fuel/vehicle systems simulated by Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT) to conduct a well-to-wheels (WTW) analysis energy greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The WTW results were separately calculated for blended charge-depleting (CD) charge-sustaining (CS)...
This paper discusses what is known about the life-cycle burdens of lithium ion batteries. Constituent-material production and subsequent manufacturing batteries are emphasized. Of particular interest estimation impact battery material recycling on manufacturing. Because some materials come from comparatively less plentiful resources, potential battery-production discussed. effort represents early stage analysis, in which processes characterized preparatory to detailed data acquisition....
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">In the United States (US), off-road sector (i.e., agriculture, construction, etc.) contributes to approximately 10% of country’s transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, similar aviation sector. The is extremely diverse; as EPA MOVES model classifies it into 11 sub-sectors, which include 85 different types equipment. These equipment have horsepower ranging from 1 greater than 3000 and very utilization, makes...

The Model integrates current research on in sector serves platform such battery-electric cell powertrains. tool predicts battery capacity hydrogen storage required...
The development of large-scale shale gas production has been described as a game-changer for the US energy market and generated interest in expanding use natural sectors such electricity generation transportation. This made possible by improvements drilling technologies—specifically utilizing hydraulic fracturing conjunction with horizontal drilling—that have enabled from unconventional formations. However, environmental implications its called into question. Environmental impacts associated...
