Abstract The scripts and data provided here are at the basis of the paper "Representative Life Cycle Assessment modelling of prospective trajectories: A parametric approach applied to the French heating sector" co-authored by Mélanie Douziech, Romain Besseau, Raphaël Jolivet, Bianka Shoai-Tehrani, Jean-Yves Bourmaud, Guillaume Busato, Mathilde Gresset-Bourgeois and Paula Pérez-López. This paper shows how parameterized foreground and background inventories can be combined using the lca_algebraic library to flexibly estimate the environmental impacts occurring over the life cycle of a system of interest. This methodology was illustrated by estimating the environmental impacts of the planned evolution of the French heating sector until 2050.
The setup and instructions provided below allow to generate the environmental impacts of the French heating sector as presented in the paper.
