I want to understand the similarities between ecoindicator 99, ced and gwp. I analyzed the impact of some organic solvent during the solvent production. All the indicators gave me the same trend of impact. What is the relation? What I should look for? Instead UBP-97, give different results.
You should look at the papers describing each of the methods. Also look on how the methods were implemented on the software. Many methods share some categories Eco-99 uses GWP. Also take a look at newer methods, and their geographies EcoScarcity (UPB) is specific for Switzerland, so if you use it in other countries your results might be vested
Hi,
I would be surprised that for the same impact categories the results with different methods showed wide variations. The environmental impact categories are the same, thus even though models are different they should give similar results, as all are based on the same physical and chemical principles, and even use the same data.
