| Abstract | A life cycle inventory analysis is conducted in this study to identify the carbon hotspots in a vehicle to grid (V2G) system and its CO2 emissions advantage to the conventional counterpart equivalent. CO2 emissions are calculated by applying the data of each components and life cycle stages collected from statistics and literature surveys to the Japanese life cycle inventory database. The emissions differ by the assumptions made; therefore a sensitivity analysis is also carried out to understand the potential variation of the CO2 emissions. The result indicates that about 35-42% CO2 reduction can be expected for a V2G system in comparison with the conventional system. Since the main contributors to CO2 emissions of both systems are dwelling, residential house construction, vehicle cycle and fuel cycle stages, these stages should be included in the system boundary of the analysis. |
