Dynamic and On-Demand LCA (D-LCA)

D-LCA is an advanced Dynamic and On-Demand LCA module for environmental impact assessment. It is integrated into the PSM tool and performs life-cycle impact calculations from dynamically generated life-cycle inventories.

Key Features
1

Operates as a computational layer on top of PSM.

2

Extracts time-dependent inflow and outflow data from PSM-modelled processes.

3

Uses configurable LCIA methods and characterisation factors.

4

Allows selection of functional units, system boundaries and impact categories.

5

Aggregates impacts per process, value chain and scenario.

Input Data Requirements

Inventory data, process-related parameters, dynamic characterisation factors, and time-dependent inflow/outflow data such as materials, energy and emissions; external LCA databases imported through structured templates.
