Abstract

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an analytical method for assessing the potential environmental impacts generated by product manufacturing, use and disposal. LCA in transport area most often concerns the analysis of alternative fuels based on Well-to-Wheel (WTW) approach. WTW is a special type of LCA because it focuses on the fuel life cycle and its impact on greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this paper is to compare GHG emissions from diesel and CNG fueled trucks according to WTW analysis and to identify the main sources of GHG emissions.

Keywords: Life Cycle Assessment, Well-to-Wheel, CNG, diesel, truck
