A deterministic carbon footprint modelling across the supply chain of electricity

The electricity sector is one of the major contributors to climate change and global warming. Hence, decarbonisation of electricity which is generated by current technologies is inevitable. For a better policy implementation in energy portfolio, this paper presents a deterministic carbon footprint model for a frame F fossil fuel power plant from a raw material until the product is delivered to the end user. The model has been designed to cover the effect of investigated parameters. Controlling the investigated parameters can reduce carbon footprint of electricity through its life phases. The distinguished feature of the proposed model is the integration of raw material, operation of the power plant and transmission and distribution phases. The result shows good agreement between statistical data and the proposed model.
