5. 내용 : The U.S. transportation sector relies mainly on fossil petroleum, accounting for 28% and 72% of U.S. total energy and petroleum consumptions in 2012, respectively. Due to the increasing concerns on energy security and environment, the U.S. transportation sector is exploring economical, societal, and environmental solutions to reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions. The promising solutions include natural gas-based fuels, biofuels, and alternative powertrain configurations. It is important to estimate the comprehensive benefits in petroleum consumption and GHG emissions of these fuels and powertrain configurations, relative to conventional petroleum fuels, which requires a life-cycle analysis (LCA) of these fuels and powertrain configurations. LCA accounts for energy and emissions associated with all stages of a transportation fuel and vehicles, including feedstock recovery and transportation, fuel production and transportation, fuel consumption, and vehicle manufacturing and recycling. This presentation provides LCA results of these fuels and vehicles, and discusses specific issues on each fuel and vehicle that LCA reveals.
