A life cycle assessment (LCA) practitioner is often faced with the problem of missing chemical life cycle inventory (LCI) data sets, as current databases cover only a small fraction of chemicals used in commerce. Here, we critically review eight different methods used by LCA practitioners to estimate missing chemical LCI data, including process simulation, engineering process calculations, molecular structure-based models, stoichiometric approaches, use of proxies, and omission. Each method is technically described with examples from the literature, description of advantages and disadvantages, and discussion of suitability depending on availability of data and expertise. Methods are then fully demonstrated and compared for accuracy against reported chemical industry data using case studies of styrene and its downstream product, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). Resulting LCI and life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) values are compared and discussed, with specific attention to method-specific exclusion...
