  • Correcting remaining truncations in hybrid life cycle assessment database compilation

    Open AccessMaxime Agez, Elliot Muller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2022

  • Hybridization of complete PLCA and MRIO databases for a comprehensive product system coverage

    Open AccessMaxime Agez, Richard Wood et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2020

    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 the completeness of these system descriptions and lead to truncations in inventories and underestimations of impacts. Hybrid Life Cycle Assessments (HLCA) aim to combine the strength of PLCA and Environmentally Extended Input Output (EEIO) analysis to obtain more specifi…

  • Effects of Distribution Choice on the Modeling of Life Cycle Inventory Uncertainty

    Open AccessStéphanie Muller, Christopher Mutel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    Life cycle inventory data have multiple sources of uncertainty. These data uncertainties are often modeled using probability density functions, and in the ecoinvent database the lognormal distribution is used by default to model exchange uncertainty values. The aim of this article is to systematically measure the effect of this default distribution by changing from the lognormal to several other distribution functions and examining how this chang…

  • Choice of Allocations and Constructs for Attributional or Consequential Life Cycle Assessment and Input‐Output Analysis

    Open AccessGuillaume Majeau‐Bettez, Thomas Dandres et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    The divide between attributional and consequential research perspectives partly overlaps with the long‐standing methodological discussions in the life cycle assessment (LCA) and input‐output analysis (IO) research communities on the choice of techniques and models for dealing with situations of coproduction. The recent harmonization of LCA allocations and IO constructs revealed a more diverse set of coproduction models than had previously been un…

  • Coupling Input‐Output Tables with Macro‐Life Cycle Assessment to Assess Worldwide Impacts of Biofuels Transport Policies

    Open AccessAudrey Somé, Thomas Dandres et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    Many countries see biofuels as a replacement to fossil fuels to mitigate climate change. Nevertheless, some concerns remain about the overall benefits of biofuels policies. More comprehensive tools seem required to evaluate indirect effects of biofuel policies. This article proposes a method to evaluate large‐scale biofuel policies that is based on life cycle assessment (LCA), environmental extensions of input‐output (I‐O) tables, and a general e…

  • Consequences of Future Data Center Deployment in Canada on Electricity Generation and Environmental Impacts

    Open AccessThomas Dandres, Nathan Vandromme et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2017

    The environmental impacts of data centers that provide information and communication technologies (ICTs) services are strongly related to electricity generation. With the increasing use of ICT, many data centers are expected to be built, causing more absolute impacts on the environment. Given that electricity distribution networks are very complex and dynamic systems, an environmental evaluation of future data centers is uncertain. This study pro…

  • Biogenic Carbon and Temporary Storage Addressed with Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment

    Open AccessAnnie Levasseur, Pascal Lesage et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2013

    A growing tendency in policy making and carbon footprint estimation gives value to temporary carbon storage in biomass products or to delayed greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Some life cycle‐based methods, such as the British publicly available specification (PAS) 2050 or the recently published European Commission's International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) Handbook , address this issue. This article shows the importance of consistent …

  • Estimating Material and Energy Flows in Life Cycle Inventory with Statistical Models

    Open AccessVincent Moreau, Gontran Bage et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2012

    Data (un)availability and uncertainty are recurring problems in life cycle assessment, and particularly inventory analysis. Advances in life cycle inventory have focused on the propagation and management of uncertainty, but this article addresses the question of how to account for unavailable data and corresponding uncertainty. Large and complicated systems often lack complete data due to confidential practices or the efforts required in the data…

  • Considering Time in LCA

    Annie Levasseur, Pascal Lesage et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Technology2010

    The lack of temporal information is an important limitation of life cycle assessment (LCA). A dynamic LCA approach is proposed to improve the accuracy of LCA by addressing the inconsistency of temporal assessment. This approach consists of first computing a dynamic life cycle inventory (LCI), considering the temporal profile of emissions. Then, time-dependent characterization factors are calculated to assess the dynamic LCI in real-time impact sc…

  • Using the Lashof Accounting Methodology to Assess Carbon Mitigation Projects With Life Cycle Assessment

    Open AccessAlexandre Courchesne, Valérie Bécaert et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2010

    As governments elaborate strategies to counter climate change, there is a need to compare the different options available on an environmental basis. This study proposes a life cycle assessment framework integrating the Lashof accounting methodology, which enables the assessment and comparison of different carbon mitigation projects (e.g., biofuel use, a sequestering plant, an afforestation project). The Lashof accounting methodology is chosen ami…
