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.
Operates as a computational layer on top of PSM.
Extracts time-dependent inflow and outflow data from PSM-modelled processes.
Supports Dynamic Process Inventories, Dynamic Systems and Dynamic Characterisation.
Uses configurable LCIA methods and characterisation factors.
Allows selection of functional units, system boundaries and impact categories.
Aggregates impacts per process, value chain and scenario.
Produces traceable outputs for hotspot identification, scenario comparison and certification-ready reporting.
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.
