Anyone can suggest to me, software that helps for techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment for energy generation from wet-organic waste using thermal treatment. Thanks.
Dear Friend,
R is the best but you need to customize into your system!
Dear Yonas,
GaBi 9.2 can also manage energy production with heat production in terms of environmental impacts, primary energy, and costs. The organic waste is first treated and then credit for steam and credit for power processes are introduced into the end-of-life type LCA plan with global parameterization.
Best wishes, Viktoria

Hello Yonas
I suggest taking a look at the EASETECH which includes several waste treatment modules. Unlike mainstream LCA software, EASETEACH was initially developed to model the LCA of waste treatment additionally it takes care of the mass balance from start to end.
The techno-economic analysis in LCA is more of a conceptual framework, I suggest you take a look at:
