  • Air quality and public health co-benefits of 100% renewable electricity adoption and electrification pathways in Los Angeles

    Open AccessYun Li, Vikram Ravi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    To demonstrate how a mega city can lead in decarbonizing beyond legal mandates, the city of Los Angeles (LA) developed science-based, feasible pathways towards utilizing 100% renewable energy for its municipally-owned electric utility. Aside from decarbonization, renewable energy adoption can lead to co-benefits such as improving urban air quality from reductions in combustion-related emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NO x ), primary fine particul…

  • Agent‐based modeling and simulation for the circular economy

    Open AccessJulien Walzberg, Jean‐Marc Frayret et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2023

    Circular economy aims at decoupling human activities from resource use and creating wealth. However, many have questioned the link between increased circularity and sustainability, resulting in several methodological approaches being developed to answer that question. This article analyzes and discusses the insights gained from applying agent‐based modeling and simulation to study the techno‐economic and social conditions promoting circularity an…

  • Comparison of methane emission estimates from multiple measurement techniques at natural gas production pads

    Open AccessClay S Bell, Timothy L Vaughn et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2017

    This study presents the results of a campaign that estimated methane emissions at 268 gas production facilities in the Fayetteville shale gas play using onsite measurements (261 facilities) and two downwind methods – the dual tracer flux ratio method (Tracer Facility Estimate – TFE, 17 facilities) and the EPA Other Test Method 33a (OTM33A Facility Estimate – OFE, 50 facilities). A study onsite estimate (SOE) for each facility was developed by com…

  • Gathering pipeline methane emissions in Fayetteville shale pipelines and scoping guidelines for future pipeline measurement campaigns

    Open AccessDaniel Zimmerle, Cody K Pickering et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2017

    Gathering pipelines, which transport gas from well pads to downstream processing, are a sector of the natural gas supply chain for which little measured methane emissions data are available. This study performed leak detection and measurement on 96 km of gathering pipeline and the associated 56 pigging facilities and 39 block valves. The study found one underground leak accounting for 83% (4.0 kg CH4/hr) of total measured emissions. Methane emiss…

  • Comparing facility-level methane emission rate estimates at natural gas gathering and boosting stations

    Open AccessTimothy L Vaughn, Clay S Bell et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2017

    Coordinated dual-tracer, aircraft-based, and direct component-level measurements were made at midstream natural gas gathering and boosting stations in the Fayetteville shale (Arkansas, USA). On-site component-level measurements were combined with engineering estimates to generate comprehensive facility-level methane emission rate estimates (“study on-site estimates (SOE)”) comparable to tracer and aircraft measurements. Combustion slip (unburned …

  • Integrated life-cycle assessment of electricity-supply scenarios confirms global environmental benefit of low-carbon technologies

    Open AccessEdgar G Hertwich, Thomas Gibon et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2015

    Significance Life-cycle assessments commonly used to analyze the environmental costs and benefits of climate-mitigation options are usually static in nature and address individual power plants. Our paper presents, to our knowledge, the first life-cycle assessment of the large-scale implementation of climate-mitigation technologies, addressing the feedback of the electricity system onto itself and using scenario-consistent assumptions of technical…

  • Bioenergy and climate change mitigation

    Open AccessFelix Creutzig, N H Ravindranath et al.ARTICLEGCB Bioenergy2015

    Bioenergy deployment offers significant potential for climate change mitigation, but also carries considerable risks. In this review, we bring together perspectives of various communities involved in the research and regulation of bioenergy deployment in the context of climate change mitigation: Land‐use and energy experts, land‐use and integrated assessment modelers, human geographers, ecosystem researchers, climate scientists and two different …

  • Methane Leaks from North American Natural Gas Systems

    Open AccessAdam R Brandt, Garvin Heath et al.ARTICLEScience2014

    Methane emissions from U.S. and Canadian natural gas systems appear larger than official estimates.

  • Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Electricity Generated from Conventionally Produced Natural Gas

    Open AccessPatrick O’Donoughue, Patrick R O'Donoughue et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2014

    This research provides a systematic review and harmonization of the life cycle assessment (LCA) literature of electricity generated from conventionally produced natural gas. We focus on estimates of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted in the life cycle of electricity generation from natural gas‐fired combustion turbine (NGCT) and combined‐cycle (NGCC) systems. The smaller set of LCAs of liquefied natural gas power systems and natural gas plants with …

  • Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Electricity Generation

    Open AccessDennis Hsu, David D Hsu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2012

    Published scientific literature contains many studies estimating life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of residential and utility‐scale solar photovoltaics (PVs). Despite the volume of published work, variability in results hinders generalized conclusions. Most variance between studies can be attributed to differences in methods and assumptions. To clarify the published results for use in decision making and other analyses, we conduct a meta‐…

  • Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Nuclear Electricity Generation

    Open AccessEthan Warner, Ethan S Warner et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2012

    A systematic review and harmonization of life cycle assessment (LCA) literature of nuclear electricity generation technologies was performed to determine causes of and, where possible, reduce variability in estimates of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to clarify the state of knowledge and inform decision making. LCA literature indicates that life cycle GHG emissions from nuclear power are a fraction of traditional fossil sources, but th…

  • Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Utility‐Scale Wind Power

    Open AccessStacey L Dolan, Garvin Heath et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2012

    A systematic review and harmonization of life cycle assessment (LCA) literature of utility‐scale wind power systems was performed to determine the causes of and, where possible, reduce variability in estimates of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Screening of approximately 240 LCAs of onshore and offshore systems yielded 72 references meeting minimum thresholds for quality, transparency, and relevance. Of those, 49 references provided 12…
