An object class to hybridize lifecycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) databases

Access the tool
An object class to hybridize lifecycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) databases. Create your own LCA-IO hybrid database (e.g. combining ecoinvent and exiobase data) Automates hybridization and correction for double-counting with two available methods (STAM and binary) Default parameters only allow the hybridization of ecoinvent3.5 with EXIOBASE Can accept capitals-endogenized version of EXIOBASE Includes extrapolated additional environmental extensions for EXIOBASE (from USEEIO) Includes matching of ecoinvent and EXIOBASE environmental flows to Impact World+ Includes regionalized characterization matrices for use with Impact World+ Can be exported to brightway2 If you are just interested in the default hybrid database (if you do not want to or cannot run the code) you can find it here: https://zenodo.org/record/3890379 This software is still under development.

Biogenic GHGs accounting in LCA

In Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the accounting of biogenic carbon is little harmonized. Different, even contradictory, approaches are identified in current standards for different sectors of the economy (biofuel, bio-based plastics, construction, etc.). The general objectives of this study are to identify the issues at stake in these approaches, in order to issue recommendations for several actors.

Life cycle assessment of biomass energy : state of the art, methodological challenges and recommendations

Biomass energy, or bioenergy, is energy produced from renewable biomass, for which the assessment of environmental impacts through life cycle assessment (LCA) presents a number of challenges, in particular methodological ones. The general objectives of this study are to analyze current practices for carrying out LCAs of biomass energy, and to provide recommendations on current and future best practices.
