More on the LCA Lab

Those steps should gradually help you to get the lab done:
1. Use the greenhouse, climatic, SG and oil parameters and burner efficiency to find how much actual oil and SG you need to burn. Find GHG emission of combusting OIL.
2. Even if we burn SG in Dec, we release C captured in Jun, thus burning SG is C-neutral.
3. Find how much 'virtual' oil you use to get the actual oil. Find GHG footprint of that 'virtual' oil. Several gases contribute to this footprint, account for it. In what units will you account this oil?
4. Find GHG footprint of agricultural part of SG fuel. How many various GHG's it emits?
5. Find how much GHG briquetting contributes.
6. There is more info in the tables than you will use, but we discussed it in the class very well.
7. Sum you oil emissions, and then separately sum SG emissions and compare. Do not over-complicate!
8. Once you go through the lab carefully you will see the lab is straightforward, and involves simple additions and multiplications across rows and columns.
9. If you start doing the Lab on Wed then there will be a fair chance you won't get it done.
