Complementing life cycle assessment by integrated hybrid modeling and simulation
Authors: Bochao Wang, Séverin Brême, Young Moon
Abstract
This paper presents a new complementary life cycle assessment (LCA) approach to address several limitations of the standard LCA methodology thus enhancing the functionalities of environmental impact analysis. The research demonstrates that the hybrid modeling and simulation method can address some of the limitations of the standard LCA, which were results of the assumption that parameters and relationships are constant regardless of local uniqueness. Also, the method is demonstrated to have a potential to address social and economic aspects as well. The hybrid simulation model was developed as a proof-of-concept system, which was validated using a case study of bottled water and alternative drink products.
