The world’s leading LCA databases, used around the globe by professionals in leading institutes, companies, associations and academic entities have been upgraded. Check – Improve - Update - have been the pillars of the upgrade approach adopted for the GaBi database. Careful and comprehensive technical checking by our engineers of current processes in industrial practice guarantees a database that is always up-to-date.
What’s new?
• All GaBi 4 databases - lean, professional and extension databases - provide new LCI information (as part of the LCA database) based on data sources from 2002 – 2004.
• 60 additional country specific power grid mix modules and the possibility to set up individual power grid mixes make GaBi 4 the most comprehensive LCA database on energy systems world-wide.
• All 110 ELCD data sets of the first European LCI database are included. The basis of these data is information from the participating industry (EAA, ECI, EUROFER, FEFCO and PlasticsEurope) and PE/LBP background data. PE International, LBP (University of Stuttgart) and other their partners enjoyed the confidence of the EU Commission in being chosen to set up of the first European LCI database.
• The database documentation format conforms to the ELCD standards and all documentation is now based on the standards defined for European LCI database.
• Transportation processes are supplemented with the actual emissions standards. It is now possible to reflect different emission standards of vehicles (EU II, III, IV and V).
What has been adapted?
• Energy supply chains and resources (such as oil, gas, coal, etc.) according to the country specific situation, in any important resource mining area
• End-energy supply processes (such as power plants and refineries) in their country specific operation modes (adapted to new standards)
• All major and many other speciality production processes in the fields of chemistry, plastics, metals, non-ferrous metals and precious metals (adapted to current technology standards)
What are the customer benefits?
• Quality - Consistency – Relevancy – Continuity have been the main drivers in the GaBi 4 database upgrade philosophy. The constant improvement and development of LCA databases in combination with the outstanding know-how of our experts ensures that this philosophy is sustained. This is what our customers expect and have relied on for more than 15 years. Close cooperation with many different industries across the life-cycle is the essential element that guarantees an even greater usability and coverage.
• Efficiency – Credibility – Utility – Reliability is what our customer hope for and what they receive with the GaBi 4 database upgrades.
