openLCA
openLCA is a fast, reliable, high-performance, modular tool for sustainability assessment & life cycle modelling.
A desktop life-cycle-assessment platform for modeling products, processes, impacts, uncertainty, and sustainability performance across the full life cycle.
About the Project
Why use this?
openLCA is a proven, continuously maintained desktop solution for life-cycle assessment and sustainability modeling. It supports life-cycle inventory modeling, impact assessment, uncertainty simulation, regionalized modeling, parameterization, and contribution analysis across product life cycles.
Environmental engineers choose openLCA when they need a full-featured LCA application with a graphical interface, broad database and format support, and the ability to model both simple and sophisticated product systems. It is widely used for product environmental footprints, building LCA, circular-economy analysis, and corporate sustainability assessment. [356][360][362][366]
