Temporal variations in the primary energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of electricity provided by the Swiss grid

Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

It is a frequent practice nowadays to use mean annual conversion factors (CFs) when performing life-cycle assessment (LCA) of processes and products that use electricity supplied by the grid. In this paper, we conduct an hourly assessment of the greenhouse ...
