Abstract
⺠Emergy Synthesis and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) share many methodological similarities. ⺠We provide a discussion of both methods' historical backgrounds, and of their complementarity. ⺠We argue that Emergy could be integrated in LCA as a further impact assessment method. ⺠We also present and discuss the lingering obstacles to such integration.
