ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to illustrate current difficulties and potential driving forces for creation of standardized digital climate calculations in existing computer-based LCA software. The standardized climate calculation is suggested to perform according to the requirements in international and European standards for making and verification of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). An industry-wide standardized process for making digital climate calculations would make it possible to create an unbroken information flow with environmental information between material suppliers, contractors and clients. Several Swedish and Norwegian stakeholders were engaged in this joint project to perform a sharp test of making some climate declarations for bridge and roads projects.
