- Abstract
Data bases for LCI calculation are not available in many countries or regions, but many evidences exist from which the environmental impacts of materials, manufacturing processes, energy generation, product end life and others are also different among them. Consequently, it's necessary to make efforts in order to develop data for LCA applications, or, in absence of other options, to use existing data for LCA approach in developing countries or regions. In this paper, results from the use of European data (specifically Spanish data) for eight electrical generation technologies are applied over the energetic generation mix of Venezuela, obtaining interesting results that can be used to explore the possibility of making LCA in the power sector of Venezuela.
