Are there any rules how to integrate emission measurementdata into LCA?

Question

Emissione measurement are usually present for standard conditions (0°C, 1,013 bar; dry) in mg/m³ waste air. We think for an LCA you should recalculate the meauserments for the real condition. Are there any rules existing?

Answer 1

Hi, good question,

I do not think there are specific rules set that are then followed throughout a database e.g., in the best case the conditions are documented, per process dataset - this situation makes it of course somewhat difficult to modify the amounts given now in databases to specific, defined conditions. Maybe others can comment too if I am seeing this too pessimistic for existing LCA databases.

Best wishes,

Andreas
