Life cycle inventories of fossil fuels in China(I):Energy sources consumption and direct pollutant emissions

The life cycle inventories of fossil fuels can not only provide reference data for the life cycle assessment of the chemical industry and its products,but can also show the environment performance of fossil fuels production.The energy sources consumption and direct pollutant emissions due to production and transportation of raw coal,crude oil and natural gas in China in 2002 were calculated.The emissions of water pollutants,solid wastes and gaseous state pollutants such as CO_2,SO_2,NO_x,CO,CH_4 and dust were included.
