Optimized feed-forward neural networks to address CO2-equivalent emissions data gaps - Application to emissions prediction for unit processes of fuel life cycle inventories for Canadian provinces

Sayyed Ahmad Khadem et al.

Summary: This study addresses the challenge of data gaps in life cycle assessment by using optimized artificial neural networks (ANNs). It proposes a hybrid approach using heuristics and Genetic Algorithm to systematically design optimal ANNs. The study validates this approach by predicting data gaps in the Canadian fuel life cycle and quantifying the contributions of each unit process to CO2-eq emissions.

Impact of forest harvest intensity and transportation distance on biomass delivered costs within sustainable forest management - A case study in southeastern Canada

Jalil Shadbahr et al.

Summary: This study compares the delivered cost and GHG emissions of forest biomass for different sizes of biorefineries, emphasizing the importance of harvest intensity over transportation distance. Prioritizing harvest intensity is crucial to avoid cost increase, while sensitivity analysis shows reduced equipment productivity can impact biomass costs and emissions.
