This study is aimed to understand and compare differences and limitations of various methods of the life cycle assessment (LCA). A case study of ethylene process in the China Petroleum Company was applied by field investigation and analyzed by the EcoPro program. The fuzzy analytical hierachy process was utilized to quantify the indices of environment impact from ethylene process. Results of this study indicate that energy consumption and process are most essential factors counted for the significance of environment of environmental impact from ethylene process for all various LCA method. This suggests that energy efficiency and conservation programs should be enhanced for the petro-chemical industry. Methods for doing this include upgrading industrial processes, strengthening energy management and providing technical assistance for better energy usage.
