Life Cycle Assessment of Impacts of PHEVs on GHGs Emissions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) model, the paper analyzed the impacts of PHEVs (Plug in hybrid electric vehicle) on GHGs emissions in total life-cycle. To analyze and find out the most decisive life cycle phase with highest impacts, qualitative and quantitative analysis methods were adopted to analyze the specific impacts on specific life stage, such as the production phase, use and maintenance phase and disposal phase of vehicle life. The aim was to give a direction for the development of PHEVs (Plug in hybrid electric vehicle) in environmental protection field.
