“…Several independent studies have found that LCA can suffer from incomplete system boundaries and advocate the combined use economic input-output (IO) and process-based life cycle inventories (LCI), often referred as 'hybrid life cycle assessment' to avoid underestimation (Strømman et al, 2006(Strømman et al, , 2009Suh et al, 2004;Treloar, 1997). Hybrid LCA offers the advantage of both, the data specificity of process LCA and the system completeness of input-output analy- sis.…”

“…It is important to note that energy industries and products are not considered in this sub-model in monetary terms because in a hybrid model it is important to avoid doublecounting, so to make sure that the same flow is not being considered twice, in both monetary and physical units (Strømman et al, 2009).…”

The Portuguese energy sector changed substantially during the period 1995-2010, with the introduction of natural gas and a larger renewable energy production. During the same period, the country also continued the shift to a service economy. By 2005, these two transitions led to a large increase in primary energy use (PEU), followed by a significant decline until 2010. The goal of this paper is to identify the main driving factors of changes in the Portuguese PEU through structural decomposition analysis. To do so we build a novel hybrid model with a detailed description of the energy sector in physical units, and a coarser description of the rest of the economy in monetary units. The results show that the main drivers were final demand (increasing PEU) and the direct energy intensity (decreasing PEU); while the energy and economic transitions also contributed to decrease PEU, although to a lesser extent.

“…The allocation of emissions from additional infrastructure is done by vehicle-km, which presents a simplification as, for example, heavy trucks (doing fewer miles than cars overall) are responsible for a larger share of the damage. Double counting within the hybrid life cycle inventory was avoided as much as possible following Strømman et al (2009).…”

The UK transport carbon model: An integrated life cycle approach to explore low carbon futures

Current debate focuses on the need for the transport sector to contribute to more ambitious carbon emission reduction targets. In the UK, various macro-economic and energy system wide, top-down models are used to explore the potential for energy demand and carbon emissions reduction in the transport sector. These models can lack the bottom-up, sectoral detail needed to simulate the effects of integrated demand and supply-side policy strategies to reduce emissions. Bridging the gap between short-term forecasting and long-term scenario "models", this paper introduces a newly developed strategic transport, energy, emissions and environmental impacts model, the UK Transport Carbon Model (UKTCM). The UKTCM covers the range of transportenergy-environment issues from socio-economic and policy influences on energy demand reduction through to lifecycle carbon emissions and external costs. The model is demonstrated in this paper by presenting the results of three single policies and one policy package scenario. Limitations of the model are also discussed. Developed under the auspices of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) the UKTCM can be used to develop transport policy scenarios that explore the full range of technological, fiscal, regulatory and behavioural change policy interventions to meet UK climate change and energy security goals.
