Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 2012-12-31 Abstract When calculating the Carbon Footprint for a product or service, a direct link is made between the total amount of consumed energy and the produced amount of carbon dioxide during production. For that reason calculating the carbon footprint of various alternatives is a very straightforward method to compare energy consumption and more importantly environmental pollution. Applying this method to large hydraulic engineering projects is not being done frequently. In this study the possibilities to apply the Carbon Footprint method to coastal protection systems have been explored and analyzed. The analyses are based on a case study: A reinforcement work at the Dutch coast Subject carbon footprint, coastal protection, carbon dioxide, energy To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:78f95de4-7505-4a68-8cb1-07098856d1f8 Publisher Coastal Engineering Research Council ISSN 2156-1028 Source ICCE 2012: Proceedings of the 33rd International Conference on Coastal Engineering, Santander, Spain, 1-6 July 2012 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type conference paper Rights (c)2012 The Authors Files PDF 291145.pdf 398.11 KB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:78f95de4-7505-4a68-8cb1-07098856d1f8/datastream/OBJ/view
