The Australian National Life Cycle Inventory Database (AusLCI) developed by the Australian Life Cycle Assessment Society (ALCAS) provides environmental data on Australian products and services across their full life cycle.

The Australian Government issues emission conversion factors for use by Australian and international organisations to report on greenhouse gas emissions. The key responsible departments / agencies are / were: DISER and DCCEEW.

The GHG Protocol is the de-facto standard-setting organisation for greenhouse-gas accounting. As well as producing guidance on estimating and categorising emissions, it also provides a set of the most commonly-used emission factors including energy consumption, transportation, waste management, and industrial processes.

The Integrated Carbon Metrics (ICM) Database is an Australian-specific life cycle inventory providing carbon footprint intensities for construction and building materials. It includes results from both a process method (based on AusLCI process data) and a hybrid method (combining process data with input-output data to capture upstream activities).
