Abstract
The aim of this proof of concept is to develop a framework to trace the carbon footprints emitted by fossil fuels during power generation. The framework will utilize a life cycle assessment approach to identify the amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with each stage of the power generation process, from raw material (fuel) extraction to power delivery. The proof of concept will focus on the use of coal and natural gas, which are the most widely used fossil fuels in power generation.The data collected from sources is used to create model which can help us to estimate the amount of carbon footprint generated from different types of power plants like coal-fired power plants and natural gas-fired power plants.The results of this proof of concept are analyzed to identify areas where we can reduce the greenhouse gas emission and also to develop and deploy strategies to transition to cleaner sustainable energy sources.Overall, this concept will provide a valuable tool for energy policymakers and stakeholders to make informed decisions about reducing carbon footprints from fossil fuel power generation
