Abstract Process‐based Life Cycle Assessments (PLCA) rely on detailed descriptions of extensive value chains and their associated exchanges with the environment, but major data gaps limit completeness these system lead to truncations in inventories underestimations impacts. Hybrid (HLCA) aim combine strength PLCA Environmentally Extended Input Output (EEIO) analysis obtain more specific complete descriptions. Currently, however, most HLCAs only remediate truncation processes that are each...
The climate mitigation benefits of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) relative to internal combustion engine (ICEVs) are highly dependent on the carbon intensity electricity consumed during their production and use-phase. A consistent dynamic approach grid-mix regionalization BEV life-cycle assessments in Europe is therefore necessary offer accurate guidance consumers policy makers. To this end, we present ReDyFEV, a simple open-source software tool that can be used calculate attributional,...
Abstract Life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input–output analyses (EEIOA) are two techniques commonly used to assess environmental impacts of an activity/product. Their strengths weaknesses complementary, they thus regularly combined obtain hybrid LCAs. A number approaches in LCA exist, which leads different results. One the differences is method ensure that mixed EEIOA data do not overlap, referred as correction for double counting. This aspect often ignored reports...
Abstract Companies are increasingly setting greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets to align with the 1.5 °C goal of Paris Agreement. Currently, companies set these science-based (SBTs) for aggregate GHGs expressed in CO 2 -equivalent emissions. This approach does not specify which gases will be reduced and risk misalignment ambitious mitigation scenarios individual emissions mitigated at different rates. We propose that instead separate baskets GHGs, defined according atmospheric...
Hybrid life cycle assessment (HLCA) strives to combine process-based (PLCA) and environmentally extended input–output (EEIO) analysis bridge gaps of both methodologies. The recent development HLCA databases constitutes a major step forward in achieving complete system coverage. Nevertheless, current applications still suffer from issues related incompleteness the inventory data gaps: (1) hybridization without endogenizing capital inputs EEIO database leads underestimations, (2) unreliability...
