  • Title: Updating the carbon footprint of the Galician fishing activity (NW Spain).
    Author: Iribarren D, Vázquez-Rowe I, Hospido A, Moreira MT, Feijoo G.
    Journal: Sci Total Environ; 2011 Mar 15; 409(8):1609-11. PubMed ID: 21292310.
    Abstract:
    Recent life cycle assessment studies have revealed the relevance of cooling agent leakage when assessing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by fishing vessel operations. The goal of this communication is to update the carbon footprinting of the Galician fishing activity (NW Spain) by including the GHG emissions from cooling agent leakage. Results proved the relevant role played by refrigerants regarding their contribution to the carbon footprint of fishing activities. Thus, an overall increase of 13% was found when comparing the final global carbon footprint for the Galician fishing activity with previous calculations that did not include these emissions. Nevertheless, further efforts should be made in order to provide robust data in this respect.
