The work has consisted in analysing and comparing electricity datasets from different databases, considering the ELCD database as the basis for this analysis. Data quality in LCA still represents a major bottleneck to a broader use of LCA and environmental footprint methods in business and in policy Fazio et al. Each country modelled with the own technology mix. Several energy-related data are provided within the ELCD, since energy is a key input to most environmental analyses of products or processes. Modelled the onshore and offshore wind technologies available at the commercial level in Europe.

According to statistical data from Arcadisa considerably reduction of electricity from hydropower mix is expected and the large facilities might be the main affected. Halon for ozone depletion, and indium for resource depletion impact category. Find the licence that suits your needs best.
Modelled the onshore and offshore technology mix, but sizes of turbines and capacities are lower than referenced. Extraction of raw materials Transport to plant Manufacturing of product Distribution of product End of life i. In case of the French dataset, conversion data in facilities are available in the ExternE study of the French nuclear fuel cycle EC, It must be highlighted that this energy source has a very site-specific resource and therefore, this technology applied in each European country and their contribution to the total electricity generation by wind in Europe might vary.
It also includes data on energy production, transport and end-of-life processes.
Norway, Switzerland and countries of former state of Yugoslavia are included. To create a database, users have to create all these elements and place them in a series of folders, which is called a package. Model of an ILCD database and all its elements and links.
Since its first release, the ELCD database has been updated two times. However, due to their foreseen potentials, their contribution is expected to increase in the future.
openLCA Nexus: The source for LCA data sets
ELCD, the European life cycle database. Consideration of impact categories and share of elementary flows to adjust the final rating. Although the optimal solution to this limitation would be to model new datasets for electricity production by technology and for each country, this might not be feasible in the short term.
Now, the LCA community has a universal format that allows practitioners to translate LCI from formats that were thought to be incompatible before. The methodological approach would be also useful for dataset developers and reviewers, in order to improve the overall Data Quality Requirements of databases. The comparison of the selected datasets from different databases, referred to the same technology, can lead to the identification of potential improvements in each quality criteria. Then, special periods for reviewing could be identified by technology.

The ILCD format – solving LCA data exchange problems
The UUID also allows users to update ilcs elements without creating redundant information or re-issuing a new version of the complete model as long as the UUIDs are maintained and the versioning is correctly updated. Springer Plus - Submitted in Because the ILCD format is very complex, we will use this article to help you become familiar with the basics of ILCD and how to use it for database development.
The needs of reviewing and updating the ELCD database depend on the different sectors and the technologies. The European Photovoltaic Industry Association http: It must be remarked that many recommendations are related to future updated versions of ELCD electricity datasets.
We care about your privacy. Several recommendations have been also made to overcome these limitations.
CPM LCA Database - ILCD export
The list of countries is totally different from the referenced countries. No inclusion of sufficient LCA stages. However, the unit processes used to build the datasets cannot be broken down into technologies.
They are already available in several LCA tools.
This way, different instances can be linked to each other and form a complete and documented LCA model. Technologies from Swiss and Austrian plants reservoir and run-of-river which represent the 5 th and 6 th countries in the ranking of electricity generation in EU. One excellent open source project is icd and here are a few video tutorials to get going with life cycle analysis. In simple terms, LCA is attaching a number to products that indicates their sustainability.
Efforts on this challenge should be kept in the future.
