The Life Cycle Data Network (LCDN) was launched in 2014. It aims to provide a globally usable infrastructure for the publication of quality assured LCA dataset (i.e. LCI datasets and LCIA method datasets) from different organizations ( e.g. industry, national LCA projects, research groups, and consultants). The LCDN is a non-centralised web-based infrastructure composed by Nodes (i.e. the repository of a developer/owner dateset), and it also called Registry. Main features of the LCDN are:
The LCDN datasets support Policy development and application, Environmental Footprint activities and European Commission Life-Cycle based projects. Originally meant to host data compliant with ILCD entry level requirements, since April 2018 a new registry has been added, to host and share data packages in line with the Product and Organisation Environmental Footprint (PEF and OEF) framework .. The European Commission hosts the node for the Environmental Footprint's of the representative products (click here to go directly to the node) |
