The goal of the LCA Digital Commons is to provide open access life cycle assessment (LCA) datasets and tools. The project makes North American LCA data more accessible to the community of researchers, policy-makers, industry process engineers, and LCA practitioners. Amidst the open sharing of data, we intend to sustain the development of decision-support tools. Gain access to the LCI Database at https://www.lcacommons.gov/discovery/.
