Abstract
This paper contributes to increasing transparency on the impact of transformer service activities on avoiding GHG emissions in the electricity system by presenting a case study and quantifying the life cycle carbon impacts and benefits of mineral oil reclaiming services when compared to replacement with new virgin oil. Virgin oil is a non-renewable and highly prized commodity and should be reused as much as possible.
