Additional updates/corrections​
-
Two new data libraries: USEEIO and USLCI+. Both are part of Federal LCA Commons (FLCAC), an interagency community of practice for life cycle assessment research methods. USEEIO is an environmental-economic model of a complete set of US goods and services that can be used for life cycle assessment, footprinting, national prioritization, and related applications. The USLCI+ database has more than 600 process LCIs ranging from fuels combustion, transport, metals, chemicals, resins, paper, etc. to electronics and building materials. USLCI + is a major update to the previous USLCI library, which is based on a much earlier data version from the Federal LCA Commons.
-
Three new impact assessment methods: Environmental Prices assigns monetary values to the environmental impacts caused by human activities. MarILCA offers a framework for quantifying the environmental impact of microplastic emissions in aquatic ecosystems. TRACI 2.2 is a midpoint oriented LCIA methodology developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency specifically for the US.
-
In addition, a number of existing impact assessment methods have been updated.
