Workshop - "Comparing Approaches to Life Cycle Analysis of Crude Oil"
Workshop
"Comparing Life Cycle Analysis of Crude Oil"
21 March 2011
Given the impact of crude oil on the local and global environment, numerous life cycle analyses on crude oil have been undertaken. These studies have come to remarkably different results. The half-day workshop presented and compared different studies to point out differences, identify knowledge gaps and finally, discuss possible policy implications of the various approaches.
