The goal of this project is to produce a first-order estimate of future global warming potential from road building, maintenance, and rehabilitation for the world’s road networks and put this into context with other expected transportation-related greenhouse gases.
This session introduced life-cycle analysis (LCA) as an innovative tool for thoroughly evaluating the full “cradle-to-grave” benefits, impacts, and trade-offs of and among transportation project alternatives.
This symposium, hosted by the University of California, Davis and the University of California, Berkeley, with support provided by the National Center for Sustainable Transportation, focused on the implementation of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for pavements.
The goal of the symposium was to share and discuss recent advances in life cycle assessment (LCA) for pavement, roadways, and bridges, and review and discuss the current status and future developments, standardization and implementation of pavement, roadway, and bridge LCA.
This study focuses on the improvement of life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology for assessing biofuel co-products. In particular, the study looks at the potential of algae biofuel.
The purpose of this project is to test the complete streets life cycle assessment framework by using it to quantify the environmental and social impacts of complete streets.
This dissertation builds upon life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate co-products of biofuels. The study focuses on algae as a potential biofuel.
In this study, a comprehensive model for assessing environmental, economic, and social impacts of biofuels will be developed based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). There will be special focus on both liquid biofuels and biopower (electricity generated from biomass) in California.
This research develops and refines methods of assessing the life cycle environmental impacts of transportation technologies, strategies, and policies. It offers a novel framework for assessing life cycle emissions abatement potential under uncertainty.
