structuring the foreground system in Excel in a matrix format (see an example here). The first thing we tried was our business as usual option, i.e. So how could we share data and information? How could I give feedback on his model when he made revisions? I couldn’t just physically take his computer and look at the screen, for obvious reasons. Similarly, I am not familiar with openLCA and I didn’t want to learn a new software either. Nils of course preferred to use openLCA, the software he was familiar with, without having to invest time and resources in learning a new one (not the primary purpose of his research stay). So after me and Nils had discussed and defined an appropriate model for the life cycle inventory of this study, it was time to start implementing such a model into a LCA software to do the analysis.
There is nothing wrong about openLCA of course - it’s a great and free software - but in my group we either use SimaPro or Brightway2. Nils is a really nice guy but unfortunately he is using openLCA software for this LCA project. I am collaborating with Nils on a comparative environmental assessment of technologies for Carbon Capture and Usage (CCU), super interesting. In the last three months we have been hosting in our DCEA group Nils Thonemann, a PhD student from Fraunhofer UMSICHT (DE).
