Data ยท REEL LCI

Electronics LCA data, from 3 nm chips to servers.

REEL LCI is a life cycle inventory for electronics: 520 datasets across 18 component categories, from logic wafers at 3 to 180 nm to memory, circuit boards, passives and data center infrastructure. Independently reviewed, and available in the Circa Library.

Scope

The parts that dominate the footprint.

520 datasets across 18 component categories, modeled where they are made.

  • Wafers by process node, with locations and production scenarios included in the dataset
  • Disaggregated, gate-to-gate inventories, so you can see where the impacts come from, plus partially aggregated versions
  • Impact results for EF 3.1, ReCiPe 2016, CML-IA, TRACI 2.1 and IPCC 2021
Geography

Modeled where chips are made.

Most datasets are in China, Taiwan and South Korea, where most production happens, with US grid regions for US production.

Data quality

Uncertainty included.

Pedigree scores

Reliability, completeness and representativeness, scored throughout.

Uncertainty on every dataset

Every dataset carries uncertainty, ready for Monte Carlo in Gesserit.

Independently reviewed

The database and its methodology report passed an independent critical review in August 2026.

Pricing

Priced by tier, licensed as a family.

1 to 5 credits for impact results and 1 to 45 for the full inventory, depending on the dataset's tier.

Variants come as a family

License a 10-layer HDI PCB in one surface finish and you get it in every finish. A wafer dataset includes its locations and production scenarios, such as water recycling and F-gas abatement.

Background data is your choice

REEL comes pre-linked to ecoinvent and Carbon Minds for convenience, and you can connect any background data you like. Background datasets are licensed separately.

Academic licenses

Available through REEL, free for institutions in low- and lower-middle-income countries.
