This paper proposes a LCA application for evaluating the environmental impacts in the planning phase by the provision of railway systems. The Superconducting MAGnetically LEVitated (MAGLEV) transport system is examined as a case study. Emission factors for standardized infrastructure are introduced for simplification of the inventory analysis with the data availability. The change of LC-CO2 emission by shifting from the existing inter-regional transport systems (Shinkansen, ordinary railways, airplanes and passenger cars) to the MAGLEV are forecasted by the Extended Life Cycle Environmental Load (ELCEL) concept. An eco-efficiency indicator, considering the performances, is defined and the alternative transport system are evaluated. Also, several environmental load emissions are integrated by the LIME (Life-cycle Impact assessment Method based on Endpoint modeling).
