摘要
Hybrid life-cycle assessment employing input-output analysis has advantages over conventional methods. In the inventory phase of a hybrid assessment. the data collection and the boundary selection can be tailored by using structural path analysis. This technique was applied to recent Australian data in order to determine environmentally important input paths in terms of energy consumption. land disturbance, beater use. and emissions of greenhouse gases, NOx, and SO2, for all Australian industry sectors. Due to the complexity of inter-industrial transactions, up to third-order paths can be top-ranking. The identification of such paths is considerably more labour-intensive in conventional life-cycle assessments. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
