With this project we helped Topsoe review and adapt the consequential life cycle inventory datasets currently available in the Ecoinvent database for platinum-group metals.
The project included a review of the LCI data currently available in the ecoinvent database for platinum group metals (PGM), a literature review on PGM production by mines worldwide, a market analysis on PGM supply and demand, the identification of the determining product and dependent co-products in each mine, as well as generating LCI datasets for a total of five metals: palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium, using the ecoinvent database as background. As a result of this project, a scientific article is currently under review. The pre-print is available in Research Square, with the DOI: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-7848762/v1
