Web Site Statistics

Global LCI Directory Created to address the critical need of the LCA community to organize and centralize the worldwide knowledge-base of LCI data sources to reduce the time and resources required to obtain LCI data Lists LCI Data Sources and Other Sources of LCI Data Provides profiles of each data source including descriptions, contacts, cost, and applicability information

Data Profile Format

Data Profile Format

Global LCI Directory Online profile submission Matrix and keyword search options Search results separated into LCI Data Sources and Other Sources of LCI Data

Search Options 31 Industry Categories Organized by Life Cycle Stage Number of Relevant Profiles Identified by Category

Search Options Keyword Search Options: Type of Data Source Media Cost Industry Area Process/Product Geographical Area Time Period Level of Aggregation Life Cycle Stages Information Type

Search Result Format Two Result Tables -LCI Data Sources -Other Sources of LCI Data Displays Name, Source, and Cost Option to Select One or More Profiles to View Same Table Format for Other Sources of LCI Data Search Results

Global LCI Directory Over 660 data source profiles are currently in the Directory. 99% of data source profiles are for completed LCIs. Over 45 data providers are included in the Directory. Over 300 products are covered.

Data Providers include: American Forest and Paper Association American Iron and Steel Institute CPM, Chalmers University of Technology U.S. Department of Energy International Iron and Steel Institute NIST U.S. EPA Utility Data Institute And many others!

Upcoming Efforts Updating the LCA Resources, Upcoming Events and Ongoing Efforts Expanding the list of case studies Highlighting 5 case studies and how the case study was beneficial Adding new data source profiles Continuing outreach to potential data source providers

How can you help? Inform us of any resources/events that should be added to the web site. Let us know if you would be interested in having your case study highlighted on LCAccess. Add new data source profiles using the online profile submission form. Send feedback to EPA at

Conclusion Incorporation of life cycle concepts will improve your decision-making capabilities! Knowledge and resources are available to help you today! Add a reference to your data sources using the online profile submission form!
