CRUDE OIL GREENHOUSE GAS LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS HELPS ASSIGN VALUES FOR CO2 EMISSIONS TRADING

The authors' first major excursion into oil and gas greenhouse gas accounting was in the evaluation and short-listing of over 50 energy efficiency and greenhouse gas mitigation and disposal options for the last stages of feasibility studies for a large oil sands-related project. In that program economics and sulfur dioxide emissions were added to greenhouse gas changes per se to give costs in dollar per metric ton of reduction terms.
