Description
This dataset represents a natural gas pipeline providing 1 ton-kilometer of transport service over a distance of 1 kilometer. The transportation dataset covers the entire life cycle of transportation, including pipeline operation, energy consumption for driving the pipeline, and operational emissions.
The pipeline operates on electricity. The comprehensive energy consumption for driving the pipeline is based on relevant standards for energy consumption in long-distance natural gas pipeline systems, as well as modeled data from literature on compressor energy consumption in long-distance natural gas pipelines. The pipeline utilization data is reasonably extrapolated from information related to European pipeline usage.
Activity Description
This dataset represents 1 t·km transport service via natural gas pipeline. The dataset covers the entire transportation life cycle, including pipeline operation, energy use for driving the pipeline, and operational emissions.
Process Description
This dataset can be used for 1 t·km freight transport service of natural gas via pipeline. It represents transporting 1 ton of goods over a distance of 1 kilometer, considering only freight transportation. The pipeline operates using electricity.
