So after me and Nils had discussed and defined an appropriate model for the life cycle inventory of this study, it was time to start implementing such a model into a LCA software to do the analysis. There is nothing wrong about openLCA of course - it’s a great and free software - but in my group we either use SimaPro or Brightway2. Nils is a really nice guy but unfortunately he is using openLCA software for this LCA project. I am collaborating with Nils on a comparative environmental assessment of technologies for Carbon Capture and Usage (CCU), super interesting.
In the last three months we have been hosting in our DCEA group Nils Thonemann, a PhD student from Fraunhofer UMSICHT (DE). Data exchange (Photo credit: Massimo Pizzol) Weapon of choice
