Unintended Consequences Of Ethanol Production: Geospatial Lifecycle Analysis, Amanda Louise Malone
Unintended Consequences Of Ethanol Production: Geospatial Lifecycle Analysis, Amanda Louise Malone
Theses
Ethanol use has been lauded as a way to provide a secure, diverse, environmentally friendly and economically beneficial energy supply for the US. However, along with this praise has been criticism due to potential unintended consequences that may arise from ethanol production and use. This thesis addresses one such unintended consequence: the displacement of emissions from downstream vehicle operation locations to upstream farming and production areas. The thesis uses the Upstream Ethanol Production (UEP) Model, a geospatial lifecycle model developed for analyzing spatial emissions inventories for ethanol production. The UEP model is based on the US GREET model – the …
