Key Points

This research aims to address the limitations of existing life cycle assessment due to data gaps in chemical processes.
Developed an augmented life cycle assessment framework.
Analyzed existing databases for data gaps.
Assessed impacts of various chemical processes using the new framework.
Identified significant data gaps in existing LCA databases.
Demonstrated improved accuracy in chemical impact assessments.
Highlighted potential for broader adoption of LCA in chemical industries.

Implication

Augmented life cycle assessment identifies chemical process impacts, suggesting solutions for data gaps.

Abstract

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has become the prevalent tool to quantify the impact of chemical processes, yet data gaps remain a major obstacle towards its widespread adoption. Existing LCA databases...
