Abstract
The purpose of the workshop “How to Perform a Life Cycle Inventory” is to provide a practical tutorial for professionals who might do their own LCI or partial LCI. This tutorial uses the LCI methodological steps to describe the specific steps necessary to actually carry out the LCI. A case study of alternative antifreeze (engine coolant) product systems (ethylene glycol- and propylene glycol-based) is used as the basis for the workshop and involves the attendees as “hands-on” participants in the LCI.
