Real-Time LCA Tool for the Assessment of Environmental Impacts in Industrial Production

This work discusses the key features of the LCA Simulations Engine, a new tool developed for real-time assessment of environmental impacts in industrial production using widely acknowledged Life Cycle Assessment methodologies. The LCA Simulations Engine provides a number of advantages over LCA software competition such as the dynamical fetching of data from several sensors, an enhanced user experience while using the web-based application, and an API in order to serve requests from other components and/or industrial use cases enabling a machine-to-machine collaboration at a nearly fully automated way. The LCA Simulations Engine is available online at https://lca.efb.gr.
