LCIA Method

LCIA method The process of translating raw emission data into environmental impact categories is known as the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) method. Various LCIA methods, such as the environmental footprint (EF) method, ReCiPé, and CML 2001, have been developed by different organizations, each tailored to specific research and geographical contexts. These methods vary in terms of characterization factors and impact categories. LCA guidelines frequently recommend the adoption of a particular LCIA method.
