OpenLCA software is an open source and free software that can be used to model life cycle emissions and impacts of biofuels and bioenergy. This framework provides a common method for analysts and is documented in the ISO 14044 LCA standard.īiofuel production requires many different material inputs and produces a wide range of emissions that can be difficult to track and quantify often requiring the use of LCA software. Biofuel GHG emissions and environmental impacts can be determined using a framework called life cycle assessment (LCA). The Renewable Fuels Standards require greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting for biomass based biofuels to ensure biofuel production will reduce GHG emissions as compared to petroleum based fuels. ![]()
