Abstract

This paper aims to estimate the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of jet fuel production and consumption in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) using the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. The system bound­aries include well-­to-­tank (WTT) activities, covering crude oil extraction, transportation, and jet fuel production and distribution, as well as tank-­to-­wake (TTW) activities related to aircraft operation.
