Analysis of “Comparative LCA of Biodiesel and Fossil Diesel Fuel” by Ceuterick and Spirinckx |
Jul 2000
|
The paper “Comparison of LCA and external-cost analysis for biodiesel and diesel” by L. DeNocker and C. Spirinckx was presented at the EPA-sponsored International Conference and Exhibition on Life Cycle Assessment on 2000.
The paper presented brief summaries of two studies that compared biodiesel with petroleum-based diesel fuel using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approaches. One study was based on a traditional LCA approach and was documented in a report issued in April 1997 (“Comparative LCA of Biodiesel and Fossil Diesel Fuel” by D. Ceuterick and C. Spirinckx ).
The studies were conducted at VITO, the Flemish Institute for Technological Research and sponsored by the Belgian Office for Scientific, Technical, and Cultural Affairs and the European Commission.
