“…Subdividing the technology into relevant unit-processes and establishing appropriate input-output relationships including operating parameter variations allow a direct response of the LCA model with respect to potential environmental impacts. While subdivision into smaller units has been suggested in previous literature, this has mainly been discussed from the perspective of Maes et al (2015) rather than with the intention of Götze et al (2014) and Papadokonstantakis et al (2016) as suggested here for the process-oriented approach. Only few studies have discussed the potential of establishing operational relationships and more "technology relevant" parameters (e.g.…”

The practicality of adopting Life Cycle Assessment to support decision-making can be limited by the resource-intensive nature of data collection and Life Cycle Inventory modelling.The number of chemical products increases continuously and long-term analyses show that overall growth of chemicals demand and production as well as faster growth in emerging regions is a trend that is expected to continue in the future. Regrettably, chemical inventories are typically among the most challenging to model because of the lack of available data and the large number of material and energy flows. This explains why it is so important for the Life Cycle Assessment community to have effective methods to implement life cycle inventories of chemicals available.This chapter deals with the issues of Life Cycle Inventory analysis for chemical processes and the related lack of data concerning inventories of basic and fine chemicals substances. The overall aim of the chapter is to illustrate the different possibilities/approaches that the scientific Life Cycle Assessment community has developed in order to overcome such a lack of data concerning the inventories of a specific (basic and/or fine) chemical substance both for input and output flows. Their main advantages and drawbacks are identified and discussed briefly.
