Scientifically and technically responsible<br />
Two different methods for streamlined life cycle assessment (LCA) are described: the MECO-method and SLCA.<br />
Both methods are tested on an already made case-study on cars fuelled with petrol or ethanol, and electric cars<br />
with electricity produced from hydro power or coal. The report also contains some background information on LCA<br />
and streamlined LCA, and a description of the case study used. The evaluation of the MECO and SLCA-methods<br />
are based on a comparison of the results from the case study as well as practical aspects.<br />
One conclusion is that the SLCA-method has some limitations. Among the limitations are that the whole life-cycle is<br />
not covered, it requires quite a lot of information and there is room for arbitrariness. It is not very flexible instead it is<br />
difficult to develop further. We are therefore not recommending the SLCA-method. The MECO-method does in<br />
comparison show several attractive features. It is also interesting to note that the MECO-method produces<br />
information that is complementary compared to a more traditional quantitative LCA. We suggest that the MECOmethod<br />
needs some further development and adjustment to Swedish conditions.<br />
