method and types of impacts and Material Flow Analysis (MFA), which is a method to establish an inventory for an LCA. Author of the paper proposed life cycle assessment method as an environmental management tool for support decision-making in the automotive industry and suggested eco-efficiency analysis as a new criterion for production system evaluation. Eco-efficiency analysis allows to find the most effective solution taking into account economic aspects and environmental compatibility of products or technologies. The concept of eco-efficiency (EE) was first introduced by Schaltegger and Sturm (1990). According to World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) eco- efficiency is achieved by the delivery of competitively-priced goods and services that satisfy human needs and bring quality of life, while progressively reducing ecological impacts and resource intensity throughout the life-cycle to a level at least in line with the earth’s estimated carrying capacity. In short, it is concerned with creating more value with less impact. Eco-efficiency analysis covers LCA and LCC. One of the step of LCA is impact assessment and impacts categories analysis important for automotive industry: energy demand, greenhouse gases emissions, water footprint, resources depletion etc. LCA is used for support sustainable transport by many international organizations (Burchart-Korol, 2018): • European Council for Automotive Research and Development (EUCAR) • The European Association for Electromobility • The Automotive Applications Council (AAC) • Association of European Automotive and Industrial Battery Manufacturers (EUROBAT) • European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) • Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) • Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association (KAMA) • International Lead Association (ILA) • The European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (“ETRMA”) • WorldAutoSteel The scope of the third stage is social assessment based on SLCA. The results are social indicators in life cycle of fuels life cycle. The last stage concerns development of sustainability evaluation with multicriteria analysis MCDA and optimalisation of alternative fuels life cycle. MCDA allows to take into account the most important criteria of automotive industry. Multi-criteria decision analysis methods give opportunities take into account in analysis all aspects of sustainable development, including economic, environmental and social aspects. MCDA is applied in order to perform a comparative analysis under more than one criterion and to determine which variants’ attributes are more important and which less. MCDA is method of decision- making support, which is very important in the management process (Burchart-Korol et al., 2014). There are many works in literature where multi-criteria analyses are made • Environmental Science for European Refining (CONCAWE) • Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC)
