Abstract
Life cycle inventories (LCIs), those are the backbone of life cycle assessment (LCA), have been developed principally from the point of view of global warming issue, such as the allocation of the emission of carbon dioxide, until now. On the other hand, as PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) was executed in 1999, widely corrected data on emissions of various minor pollutants have become available for a variety of environmental impact assessments. Then, the introduction of PRTR reports into conventional LCIs can be effective to diversify environmental impact assessments in LCA. In the present study, several procedures to introduce PRTR reports into LCI are investigated for petroleum refinery process.
