- Description
- Abstract: Uncertainties in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) initiatives play a major role in influencing government policies and corporations strategic plans. Thus it is important to ensure that the models of LCA initiatives are modeled such that they resemble emissions in the real world. In the paper the authors have reviewed the uncertainty tools used in LCA initiatives. This is conducted in hopes that LCA modelers understand the limitations and advantages associated with LCAs, and also identify areas where they can refine their data. In an event where there is a shortage of data, conservative means which can be used to approximate data to best model the effects of Global Warming in the real world are discussed.
