Title: Energy Production from Natural Gas: Evaluation of Pontential Environmental Impacts Using Life Cycle Assesment Approach
Abstract: Nowadays, sustainability is one of the main driving forces for worldwide economic growth especially in energy production. Conbustion of fuel such as natural gas for energy production not only produce electricity but also impacts to environment. In order to assess the environmental impacts of the natural gas power plant, study of life cycle assessment (LCA) has been carried out based on the data obtained from natural gas (NG) power plant in Johor, Malaysia. Data validation has been done by comparing the result with other assessment using the data available in the database. This paper presents the results of the LCA. From this study, it was found that there are insignificant differences in terms of the potential environmental impacts between the LCA study conducted using the data from the NG power with the assessment conducted using data from the database. Keywords Life cycle assessment, sustainability, energy, natural gas
