Life-cycle assessment models consist of a network of processes and flows that describe the full life-cycle of a industrial process. Often one can choose how the network is constructed in order to deliver a particular product or service.
This project focuses on how we can minimise the environmental impact and cost of generating a product or service using an openLCA (http://www.openlca.org) database of component processes and flows.
The optimisation problem is solved using Python and
pyomo in a Python packaged called mola. The package is
named after the ocean sunfish shown below.
