How can 'product flows' be traced?

Question

Hi everyone,

All impact categories in assessment methods are associated with an elementary flow. E.g., IPCC Climate Change gathers alls CO2, CH4, etc.

Can I do the same for electricity, just checking to which extent a process contributes to the total electricity consumption?

Thanks!

You can include products and waste flow in LCIA methods, but in a normal calculation products and waste flows "disappear". In the total requirements in the inventory results, you see however the contribution of each individual process to the results.

Thank you for the hint Andreas! I'll try it.
