New report: The fossil fuel reference

While much attention has been paid to every detail of the emissions from biofuel systems, comparatively few studies have investigated fossil fuels from an environmental perspective. Most biofuel LCA studies use a standard value for the fossil reference, without paying much attention to how it has been calculated and with what methodology. This study, published within the report series of SLU, reviews published data on fossil fuel use in transportation in order to more closely investigate the conditions of that standard value. You can find the report here.

A reference group of representatives from Ecotraffic, Preem, SLU, Uppsala University, IVL and Volvo has been affiliated to the project.
