UtilityLCA contains a `TESPy <https://tespy.readthedocs.io/en/main/>`_ network wrapped in a `SiModIn <https://github.com/HaSchneider/SiModIn>`_ model for simulating the impact of distribution of steam as process heat transfer medium in chemical industry.

UtilityLCA can support more accurate LCA of processes by allowing:

* Temperature dependent steam impact calculation
* Use of different multifunctionality approaches
* Adjusting of site specific parameters
* Simple integration in LCA workflow by using `SiModIn <https://github.com/HaSchneider/SiModIn>`_
