Estimation of Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Transportation in Beef Cattle Production

Estimation of Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Transportation in Beef Cattle Production

Accounting for transportation is an important part of the life cycle analysis (LCA) of beef cattle production because it is associated with energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper describes the development and application of a model that estimates energy consumption and greenhous...
