“…Commenting on their sensitivity analysis of economic allocation, they highlighted the re-latively high uncertainty level of both methods, especially at the European level. Contrary to the results obtained in our study, Schmidt et al (2004) only found a minor role of the agricultural production step in the estimated impacts, and thus concluded that additional data collection about agricultural practices or market prices would be irrelevant. Their results may contradict those of ours due to the different scope of their study (an insulation product at the European scale vs. the supply of a local biomass boiler).…”

“…A widespread, more practical alternative consists of considering biomass C as climate‐neutral, as Schmidt et al . () did in their study of flax production. The last two approaches actually disregard the effects of crop cultivation on soil C dynamics, let alone the effects of soil type, crop rotation or climate, which play a major role in the GHG balance of agricultural crops (Ceschia et al ., ).…”

“…There are works in the literature in which system expansions were done within ALCA. For example, in their comparative LCA of stone wool, paper wool, and flax as insulation in buildings, Schmidt and colleagues () expanded the system boundary of flax to account for co‐products (including, flax oil seeds, and shives). However, detailed modeling of the consequential flows and impacts resulting from changes in marginal products was not conducted, which are required in a CLCA.…”
