Argonne LCA study finds many alternative fuels consume more water than petroleum and natural gas fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have analyzed the water consumption for transportation fuels in the United States using an extended lifecycle system boundary that includes the water embedded in intermediate processing steps. Increases in population, energy and food demand now strain previously abundant sources of water.
