Economic Allocation in Life Cycle Assessment (2012, background): “Weidema (2001) and Weidema and Norris (2002) emphasize the importance of avoiding allocation.”
Economic allocation: Examples and derived decision tree (2004, background): “Weidema 2001 ). There are more solutions, however, such as accepting multi-functionality and modelling it as it is, or the pseudo-inverse (see Heijungs and Frischknecht 1998).”
Functions, commodities and environmental impacts in an ecological–economic model (2004, methodology): “The procedure to transform a functional flow-by-process matrix into a functional flow-by-production of a functional flow matrix is referred to as allocation here (cf. Heijungs and Frischknecht, 1998; Weidema, 2001).”
The Ecological Impact of Biofuels (2010, background): “…standards for LCA (ISO 2006b)—and the only approach that is clearly related to actual environmental outcomes—is to expand the analytical boundaries to encompass the products displaced by the coproducts and to subtract the avoided consequences from those of the system under study (Weidema 2000).”
LCI modelling approaches applied on recycling of materials in view of environmental sustainability, risk perception and eco-efficiency (2010, background): “Recent publications on this issue comprise for instance SETAC (1993), Frischknecht (1994), Klopffer (1996), Ekvall and Tillmann (1997), Kim et al. (1997), Frischknecht (2000), Weidema (2001) , Werner (2002), Ekvall and Weidema (2004), Yamada et al. (2006), Anonymous (2006), Curran (2006), Frischkne”
A Market‐Based Framework for Quantifying Displaced Production from Recycling or Reuse (2016, background): “…Valerie Thomas Volume 20, Number 4 popular methodology in life cycle assessment (LCA), called the “avoided burden method,” is to credit a product system that includes recycling or reuse with the avoided or “displaced” production of comparable primary materials (Guinée et al. 2002; Weidema 2000).”
Renewability and life-cycle energy efficiency of bioethanol and bio-ethyl tertiary butyl ether (bioETBE): Assessing the implications of allocation (2006, background): “For combined production, allocation can be avoided simply by modeling directly the consequences of a change in the output of the co-product of interest (that which is used in the product system under study) [5].”
