- This study conduct a life cycle assessment to identify if favourable CO2 emission reductions can be achieved by using synthetic fuel from pyrolysis in comparison to conventional diesel fuel.
As CO2 levels are increasing every year, Global Warming has become a more serious problem. Therefore, this study proposed and analysed several scenarios for the production of synthetic fuels for the transport industry.
Life cycle assessment in this study provides a reliable way to analyse the environmental impact. Thus, the methodology can be used to obtain higher quality fuels that offer a reasonable trade-off to the environmental gain.
