Tool NameDescription
AkulaAkula is a library for global sensitivity analysis of large semi- and nonlinear systems, with an emphasis on iterative screening and progressively more complex algorithms as the number of possibly influential parameters is reduced. It is compatible with the Brightway life cycle assessment framework, and allows for the addition of correlated uncertainties into databases such as ecoinvent.
BrightwayBrightway is a modular open source framework for life cycle assessment (LCA). 
carculatorcarculator calculates the complete environmental impacts of passenger cars during production, operation and disposal.
CIAO ToolThe Composite Indicator Analysis and Optimization (CIAO) tool is an automated Matlab menu-version for the advanced assessment of Composite Indicators (CIs).
CDR LCA ToolThis Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) LCA tool can be used to quantify the net carbon removal effectiveness of a range of methods to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Users can adjust a broad range of parameters and investigate the effects of these changes on the carbon removal effectiveness.
ENSADThe ENergy-related Severe Accident Database (ENSAD) collects accidents in the energy sector that occurred in various energy chains since 1970, taking a worldwide and full-chain perspective.  
MCDA Index ToolThe MCDA Index Tool is a web software that provides a practical and straightforward guide for the construction of indices and rankings.
