Quantification of the Carbon Emission of Road and Highway Construction in China Using Streamlined LCA

Road and Highway (RH (2) How to assess the expected confidence levels. Specifically, the activities related to R&H construction in China is formed which includes the length, types, design modes, and other aspects related to life cycle. The emissions factors corresponding to construction (design) methods and road making materials embodied impacts drawn from literature (China-specific case studies). In addition, China-based power mix is employed for the carbon emission factor including attendant uncertainty. To summarize, the outcomes are important from a policy standpoint and low-carbon technologies substitution point, and the methodologies are also important for future carbon emission quantifications of other transportation sectors in China and beyond.
