Life cycle analysis of transport modes

20 Jun 2011 18 Jul 2012
The aim of the study is to conduct a life cycle analysis of different modes of transport to estimate their impact on energy consumption and carbon emissions. Specific study objectives include:
- To develop a methodology for life cycle assessment of the selected modes of transport
- To estimate per unit energy consumption and carbon emission values for the selected modes of transport for different stages of their life cycle namely, construction, operations and maintenance
