Abstract:

The relative petroleum use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for several

popular and proposed alternative fuels were estimated and compared with

conventional petroleum fuels, either gasoline (non-oxygenated) or No. 2 diesel

fuel. The estimates were based on data from previous studies, and were

normalized to a common basis to facilitate comparisons among the candidate

fuels. The entire resource through end-use cycle was included in calculating

both petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions. 12p.
