The realization of Itaipu case study resulted not only on the first Brazilian
electricity LCA database developed with primary data, but also gave unaffordable
experience on inventory development, essential to the future of LCA on the
country.

Acknowledgments The authors are grateful to the Itaipu Binacional, which contributed with
large amounts of information and provided a field trip, indispensable to support the local eval-
uation and for conducting the interviews.
