摘要：Up to now, various methodological problems have hampered the application of the Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) approach. The objective of this article is to introduce a modified, empirically based method of running a regionally differentiated SLCA. The modified SLCA method is illustrated by reference to two different bio-energy value chains (biogas and short rotation coppices) and a reference chain (wheat production). The socioeconomic comparison of different value chains shows that biogas production offers better results overall than reference value chains and can thus be considered sustainable from a social point of view. The results provide multifaceted socioeconomic data, offering the necessary informational input for political and managerial decision-making.
