GHG emission analysis of road transport

Stage Distance (km) Fuel intensity (L·t−1·km−1) [4042] Carbon emission factor [31, 4042] Conversion coefficient to ethanol GHG emission (kg CO2 eq/t ethanol)a
Sweet sorghum transport 88 0.05 0.85 kg CO2 eq /L 16 59.84
Ethanol transport 100 0.05 0.85 kg CO2 eq /L 1 4.25
Summary 188 64.09

a GHG emissions are the energy inputs of transportation times carbon emission factors and conversion coefficient
