ICVCalc-Embrapa is a tool developed to support the creation of agricultural product inventories for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies. Created by Embrapa Environment's LCA thematic team, ICVCalc-Embrapa is a web system that organizes and processes data to build inventories of agricultural processes, which are essential to carry out LCA studies. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology that estimates the potential environmental impacts of products and services. It is based on the quantification of the inflows and outflows of materials and energy throughout the transformation and transportation processes, between the technological and natural environments. ICVCalc-Embrapa enables users to account for inputs of natural and technological resources, as well as outputs of products, co-products, and waste. The system generates inventories of agricultural processes in a format that is compatible with the ecoinvent database and allows exporting the data in CSV format for use in LCA software.
