utilityLCA
==========

UtilityLCA contains a [TESPy](https://tespy.readthedocs.io/en/main/) network wrapped in a [SiModIn](https://github.com/HaSchneider/SiModIn) model for simulating the impact of steam as process heat transfer medium in chemical industry.

![steam_net_simple](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cef40158-f670-4289-9305-86b878ee8cf4)

UtilityLCA can support more accurate LCA of processes by allowing:
- Temperature dependent steam impact calculation
- Use of different multifunctionality approaches
- Adjusting of site specific parameters
- Simple integration in LCA workflow by using [SiModIn](https://github.com/HaSchneider/SiModIn)
