ABOUT
carculator is an open-source, comprehensive and transparent life cycle assessment tool for passenger cars. It allows for an economic and environmental evaluation of different types of cars under several driving and energy supply scenarios. Results partly rely on the background inventory data of ecoinvent v3.6, and the implementation of impact assessment methods therein.
Clean Code
The code is kept as clean and accessible as possible.
Great Features
Allows for fast and highly parametrized life cycle assessments.
Fast Library
A Python library version allows for even more specific assessments.
Compatible
Export inventories compatible with Brightway2.
State-of-the-art
Relies on recent published inventories to model energy chains.
