| Sumario: | "The transportation sector has become one of the most important sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and energy consumption in the world, and such emissions have impact in the global warming. For that reason, governments have put special attention in limiting and reducing these emissions. As example of these efforts for the reductions of the anthropogenic
greenhouse gases emissions, the Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament can be mentioned.
Internal Combustion Vehicles (ICV) represent the most important percentage of vehicles available and the most widely spread technology at the market, and it will be probably so still dominating the short and medium term future although alternatives technologies, such as Electric Vehicles (EV), have emerged as important competitors.
Said that, this study aims to calculate and estimate the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), which is related to the impact category of climate change, of a conventional vehicle working with a renewable fuel." |
