Economic, Environmental and Energy Life-Cycle Inventory of Automotive Fuels 982218

There is an ongoing debate as to what fuel or fuels should power automobiles. Many analysts look at economics, others look at criteria pollutants, still others make the case based on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases embodied in the fuel.

Application of the techniques demonstrates the trade-offs inherent in substitute fuels.
