The final process included in this LCA is the transportation
and distribution of the biodiesel as described
by the Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions
and Energy use in Transportation (GREET)
model (GREET 2008). This involves transporting the
biodiesel from a conversion plant through a distribution
chain to a refueling station. The functional unit is
described as 1,000 MJ of biodiesel at a refueling station.
Since this is a well-to-pump LCA, this LCA does not
capture the emissions created resulting from the use of
algae biodiesel in the vehicles.
