The meaning of the CUTOFF flows category

Post by jsheehan303 » 12 Mar 2017 17:07

I have been doing LCAs for two decades, but am only recently returning to the world of LCA software tools. (I used TEAM/DEAM in 1995 to conduct US soybean to biodiesel LCA)—so forgive the naiveté of this question. But I would love to understand what the CUTOFF flow category is exactly. What are the implications of using flows starting with the CUTOFF name in an LCA?

Hi John,
welcome back - I am not fully sure what you are referring to, maybe the ecoinvent cut-off classification? This refers to the ecoinvent cutoff system model, explained e.g. here: http://www.ecoinvent.org/database/syste ... ation.html.
Best wishes,
Andreas
