This book presents an unbiased, comprehensive examination of the
state of knowledge for life cycle assessments (LCAs) of natural
gas-fired electricity, covering a suite of environmental impact
categories. An exploration of the life cycle environmental impacts
of gas-fired electricity is used to introduce the field of LCA,
advancements in methods and data, and the limitations thereof.
Natural gas, particularly as a fuel for electricity generation,
serves as a dichotomy within energy and environmental systems
analysis. While the cleanest burning fossil fuel, it is not without
impacts, making it an excellent case study for introducing life
cycle assessment. This book introduces readers to the field of LCA
using natural gas-fired electricity as a case study, as well as
providing a comprehensive review of the state of the art in life
cycle data, research, and scientific debate related to this product
system. The author also elucidates data and methodological
challenges inherent to the field of LCA, exemplified using
published research. The text explores how to conduct LCA,
describing the analysis from the perspective of a numerator and
denominator. With each chapter, the complexity of undertaking a LCA
of gas-fired power is unravelled beyond a simple fraction to the
expansive network of infrastructure examined in this type of
research. Students, instructors, LCA practitioners, and energy
professionals will benefit from not only the introduction to data
and methods, but also this useful summary of the state of the art
in the field. Policymakers and the interested public can learn more
about the implications of LCA results for decision-support and the
commentary about the economics of natural gas and its role as a
bridge fuel. This book provides not only a useful reference, but
also a springboard for researchers and experts interested in
specializing in LCA, natural gas, or both.
