Abstract:The long-term viability and success of a transportation fuel depends on both economic and environmental sustainability. These include, but are not limited to, the environmental impacts on global climate and air quality, the efficient usage of water and land resources, technical feasibility and the economic cost of fuel production. This report focuses on aspects of environmental sustainability, with an emphasis on life cycle greenhouse gas emissions as they relate to impacts on global climate. Through a life cycle accounting of the GHG emissions starting with the well, field, or mine where the fuel feedstock is extracted, and extending to the wake behind the aircraft, one can ascertain the change in GHG emissions that result from the use of an alternative fuel.
