Enhancing Life Cycle Inventory Modeling with Large Language Models: A Battery Case Study

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely recognized as a key methodology for evaluating the environmental im-pacts of products and technologies across their entire life cycle. Against the background of the energy transi-tion, its application is...

Enhancing Life Cycle Inventory Quality: A Framework for Applying DAMA DMBOK Principles to LCA Data Management

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a standardized methodology for quantifying the environmental impacts of products and processes across their entire life cycle. At the core of LCA lies the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) phase, which...

From Requests to Reliable Datasets: Practical Approaches for Gathering Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Data

High-quality life cycle inventory (LCI) data is a prerequisite for robust life cycle assessment (LCA), dataset development, and life cycle-based decision-making, particularly when working with sector groups, industry associations, and other collective industry initiatives. However,...

How to model the dynamic Life Cycle Inventory for forest management activities?

Forest ecosystem services include serval aspects like provision of wood, recreation, fresh water supply, soil protection and climate regulation (Sodhi & Ehrlich, 2010). There is an expected increase in the demand of the wood-based products...

Life Cycle Inventory Modelling Using Process Simulation to Facilitate Life Cycle Assessment of Industrial Processes

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is commonly used to quantify the environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle (i.e., from raw material extraction to disposal). There are four phases of LCA according to...

Machine learning in life cycle assessment for process modeling of emerging technologies

The use of life cycle assessment (LCA) is instrumental in identifying environmental hotspots in intricate systems and guiding the design and selection of environmentally friendly production methods. However, the amount of time, resources, and expertise...
