Basics

  • An analysis of a device or facilities lifetime, usually for Emissions or Energy Usage
  • More useful that Instantaneous Efficiency / Pollution
  • This is where the headline of "Used cars may be more eco-friendly than getting a new electric" due to the "Debt" the electric car would have due to the Li-Ion Batteries and other components
  • Often used for Power Plants
