CONSEQUENTIAL LCA

Consequential modelling is the relevant modelling choice for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the vast majority of cases. The consequential approach is a "system modelling approach in which activities in a product system are linked so that activities are included in the product system to the extent that they are expected to change as a consequence of a change in demand for the functional unit" (UNEP 2011). However, many LCAs are currently being produced and published which do not use consequential modelling, often with the argument that the consequential modelling is too difficult or time-consuming. This site aims to alleviate this misconception by providing examples on how consequential LCA (cLCA) is being performed in practice... Open resources and a collection of examples illustrating how to model consequential product systems in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as it is recommended in the ISO 14040 series...
