- The cost is substantial: a rigorous, peer-reviewed LCA for a complex product can require 3-6 months of analyst time, database licensing costs (with the ecoinvent database (2020) the de facto reference for unit-process inventories), and specialized software; simplified streamlined LCA tools reduce cost but with increased uncertainty and reduced methodological rigor.
This sourceDocuments the structure, system models, and licensing model of ecoinvent, the dominant LCA unit-process inventory database.
