5 4 PREREQUISITES FOR A CORRECT «CARBON FOOTPRINT» ASSESSMENT OF RUSSIAN NATURAL GAS COMPARISON OF AVERAGE CARBON INTENSITY using various types of fuel? In this study, the lifecycle Carbon Intensity (CI) of petrol, diesel, kerosene and natural gas have been assessed in a Well-To- Tank approach. A chain of significant process stages of oil and gas, such as exploration, exploitation, upgrading, transportation, transmission, refining, distribution, dispensing etc. are considered; thus excluding the final stage of combustion in the vehicle internal combustion engines The previous version of this report has been published by the JEC Consortium in July 2013 (JRC - EU Commission s Joint Research Centre, EUCAR - the European Council for Automotive R&D and CONCAWE the oil companies European association for environment, health and safety in refining and distribution)
