ESU-services has more than 25 years experience in life cycle inventory analysis and transparent documentation
Reliable and transparent Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data are the backbone of every good Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). At ESU-services Ltd. we are specialized in elaborating high quality life cycle inventories with a fully transparent documentation. We provided 1000 out of 4000 unit process data sets for the ecoinvent database. Further, we elaborated a range of further and updated datasets which can be downloaded free of charge. Our ESU data base services covers thousands of further LCI datasets in the EcoSpold or SimaPro format, which are sold on demand. The data can be imported to different LCA software such as SimaPro, Gabi, openLCA, etc. When desired we collect and analyse detailed LCI data for your studies. Several formats can be used for the import and export of such data. More detailed information about contents and prices of data sets for sale can be found at our data base description. Furthermore you can find some abstracts of working examples. More information about the databases used for our projects can be found in a description of LCI data for download.
