Natural Gas LCA

This presentation was provided via a pre-recorded presentation at the 2025 Coordinating Research Council Life Cycle Analysis of Transportation Workshop at Argonne National Laboratory on October 9, 2025. The presentation provides an overview of the methods and data sources used in the report, Life Cycle Analysis of Natural Gas Extraction and Power Generation: U.S. 2020 Emissions Profile and briefly discusses discrepancies between top-down and bottom-up inventory methods and how those might be overcome.

Life Cycle Assessment and Cost Analysis of a Process-Based Sorbent-Based Direct Air Capture with Temperature-Vacuum Swing Adsorption Model

This presentation discusses different aspects of LCA and TEA of sorbent-based case study updates and methodologies utilized for carbon dioxide removal technologies. The combined TEA and LCA approach adopted herein provides insight into trade-offs between environmental performance and cost efficiency under various energy supply scenarios.

Life Cycle Analysis of Natural Gas Extraction and Power Generation: U.S. 2020 Emissions Profile

This work summarizes the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory's (NETL) recent life cycle analysis (LCA) study of the U.S. natural gas supply chain. In recent years, there has been growing interest in accurate accounting of methane emissions, with a specific focus on those from natural gas infrastructure, due to its much higher global warming potential as compared to carbon dioxide.

Enhanced Rock Weathering for Carbon Dioxide Removal: Life Cycle Analysis and Techno-Economic Assessment

The study models enhanced rock weathering (ERW) using minerals such as basalt and olivine in terrestrial environments. Our analysis shows potential for ERW CO2 removal and storage costs to approach US$ 100 per tonne (t) of CO2 removed and stored under certain conditions (2023 dollars). In the environmental analysis, the 100-year global warming potential impact with igneous rock and industrial waste materials ranges from 34–263 and 23–180 kg CO2-eq per tonne of CO2 removed and stored, respectively (these values result in overall emissions (removed minus emitted) between –977 and –737 kg CO2-eq net removed per tonne of CO2 removed and stored, meaning for every tonne of CO2 removed by ERW, after accounting for the CO2 equivalent emissions from the GWP, the overall emissions are negative.
