"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."The objective of this EAGER project is to create a framework for collection of life cycle inventory data for fiber reinforced polymer composite infrastructure materials. While the methods required to carry out a life cycle assessment are well defined, the underlying datasets needed to support the assessment are sparsely populated. Within the ISO 14040 series standard for life cycle assessment these datasets are termed a life cycle inventory (LCI). Without a robust life cycle inventory, the result of more comprehensive life cycle assessment based on this data remains uncertain at best. Therefore, the proposed research serves as an important foundation for future research on the larger sustainability assessment and design of FRP infrastructure. FRP materials are increasingly being used in infrastructure with little knowledge of their full sustainability footprint. As part of outreach efforts within this project, all life cycle inventory results will be made available to the United States National Life Cycle Inventory Database administered by the United States Department of Energy National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。“EAGER项目的目标是为收集纤维增强聚合物复合基础设施材料的生命周期清单数据创建一个框架。虽然进行生命周期评估所需的方法已得到明确界定，但支持评估所需的基本数据集却很少。在ISO 14040生命周期评估系列标准中，这些数据集被称为生命周期清单（LCI）。如果没有一个健全的生命周期清单，根据这些数据进行更全面的生命周期评估的结果充其量也是不确定的。因此，建议的研究作为一个重要的基础，为未来的研究更大的可持续性评估和玻璃钢基础设施的设计。玻璃钢材料越来越多地用于基础设施，但对其完整的可持续性足迹知之甚少。 作为该项目内推广工作的一部分，所有生命周期清单结果将提供给美国能源部国家可再生能源实验室管理的美国国家生命周期清单数据库。
