This book clarifies a number of methodological issues in Life Cycle
Inventory modelling, as part of LCA. Some of these issues have been
on the agenda for a long time, without coming to generally accepted
solutions, and often not even to agreement on alternative
approaches. Several of these subjects relate to the specific nature
of LCA as a relatively simple method for decision support, focusing
on technology relations in the life cycle. By this focus, it is
simple enough to be operable by 'small' users, but at the cost of
leaving out many mechanism which are operant in reality. The report
before you has three main chapters: Chapter 1 gives a survey of
issues in LCA which need further elaboration, and indicates
priorities. Chapter 2 is about current LCA and how it may advance
in terms of a number of methods issues: Multifunctionality;
prospective and descriptive analysis in LCA; and data quality,
uncertainty and validation. Chapter 3 is about how sustainability
analysis might advance, not within the current limitations of ISO
LCA. This chapter may function as a framework for improving
sustainability analysis: as broadened and deepened LCA, as 'New
LCA' or 'beyond LCA'.
