Calculator of the Biofuels Platform

 

The data presented below are based on both the life-cycle inventory database ecoinvent and on the calculations of ENERS Energy Concept and the Laboratory of Energy Systems of EPFL (LASEN).

The calculator below aims at evaluating the reduction of non-renewable primary energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of biofuels (compared with the conventional reference chain), according to the following parameters:

  • the type of vehicle (passenger car or lorry);
  • the type of liquid biofuel (bioethanol or biodiesel);
  • the production pathway (according to the feedstock);
  • the type of fuel blend.
