Welcome!

Note: EF3.0 compliant data of solvents developed by ESIG have been updated by the European Commission in order to include the updates of the EF3.1 reference package (https://eplca.jrc.ec.europa.eu/LCDN/developerEF.xhtml). The EF3.1 data sets shall be used for PEF/OEF studies. The new EF3.1 package involves the updating/fixing characterization factors in the impact categories of Climate Change, Acidification, Ecotoxicity freshwater, Photochemical ozone formation, Human Toxicity cancer, and Human Toxicity non-cancer. The life cycle inventories of the process datasets are NOT affected by these updates, but only the LCIA results for the 6 mentioned impact categories have been recalculated.
