Title : Lifecycle-based environmental pollution cost analysis of alternative biofuels at internal combustion engines

Abstract:

The main purpose of the study is to explain alternative biofuels' long-period effects on the environment and economy using lifecycle-based analysis. Increasing usage of fossil-based fuels is causing more greenhouse gas emissions, nowadays. Especially, CO2 emission emerges as the main reason for global warming. Carbon emission is not only caused by climate change but also by health and environmental problems. Thus, Kyoto Protocol countries have a deal with reducing carbon emissions. For this reason, some preventions have been taken by the countries that mitigated the carbon emission. In this respect, the carbon price for each country is a new application for the countries. This carbon market implementation affects the countries economically and environmentally.   
The study reveals that results of the lifecycle-based environmental pollution cost analysis parameters such as the specific environmental pollution cost (US cent/kWh), lifecycle-based specific environmental pollution cost ($/kW), total environmental pollution cost ($), lifecycle-based total environmental pollution cost ($), total payback period (year), environmental payback period (year), and lifecycle-based environmental payback period (year). This way, researchers can take into consideration not only the instant effect but also the long period effects of alternative biofuels on the environmental and economic at internal combustion engines.
Keywords: Lifecycle-based analysis, environmental, pollution cost analysis, alternative fuels, internal combustion, engines

Audience Takeaway:

• The study aims to give an insight into alternative biofuels' long-period effects. 
• This presentation highlights the importance of the alternative biofuels' long period effect on the environment and economy.  
• Researchers will gain a perspective on alternative biofuels' lifecycle-based environmental pollution cost analysis for internal combustion engines.
