Abstract
Conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) requires extensive data that characterizes the product during its manufacturing, service, and end-of-life periods. It becomes evident that wide access to reliable and transparent databases is imperative for accurately modeling the system under study. Additionally, environmental processes are often very complex, necessitating the development of software tools to structure the modeled scenarios, visualize process chains, and present and analyze the results obtained. An effective LCA software should organize data, minimize the effort required for inventory analysis or impact assessment, provide documentation that validates the study, and be compatible with other software, allowing interaction between the LCA software and other tools used by LCA practitioners.
This thesis explores the application of LCA as prescribed by ISO 14040/14044 standards to evaluate as primary objective the environmental impact of each phase of a passenger aircraft's service life, including manufacturing, operation, and decommissioning
