Question: This problem utilizes the process model in Problem 10.1 and the EEIO model in Problem 10.8. Develop a hybrid model to determine the life cycle

This problem utilizes the process model in Problem 10.1 and the EEIO model in Problem 10.8. Develop a hybrid model to determine the life cycle SO2 emission for producing 1000 kWh of electricity.

Data from in Problem 10.1 

10.1 Process A uses 10 m of oil and 10 kWh of electricity to produce 8 m of fuel. It emits 1.5 m of SO.

Data from in Problem 10.8

10.8 The flows in an economic input-output model are as follows: 1 = 50, *12=50, 21 = 30, 22 = 0, f = 10, f =

10.1 Process A uses 10 m of oil and 10 kWh of electricity to produce 8 m of fuel. It emits 1.5 m of SO. Process B uses 1 m of fuel to produce 5 kWh of electricity and emits 0.2 m of SO. Answer the following questions for this system. 1. If the system produces 1000 kWh of electricity to sell to consumers, what is its total (direct and indirect) SO emission? 2. If it sells 0.1 m of fuel and 10 kWh of electricity, determine the total quantity of crude oil used and the SO emitted.
