At IBP-GaBi, a set of methods developed by Baitz (2002) to quantify land use implications of industrial processes has been transformed into an operational calculation tool (Land Use Indicator Calculation Tool, LANCA). The basing methodology and the resulting calculation tool, being able to quantify land use implications on different ecosystem services, are presented in this report.
