SimaPro: SimaPro is the leading software package for life cycle assessment (LCA). SimaPro was developed to help the analyst effectively apply his knowledge in LCA to promote change - to provide the data necessary to create sustainable value. The CICLOG has all the features of the software.

OpenLCA: The openLCA framework and the openLCA format converter are open source software, made available to the public. The CICLOG has access to the most recent databases used in OpenLCA.

 

Journals: Access to millions of articles from the most important scientific journals through the CAPES periodical platform.
