On February 28th, Thomas Schaubroeck, a sustainability expert and an R&D associate at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), one of our partners in the LCA4Bio Project, had the opportunity to participate in an online seminar introducing the LCA4Bio Project.
In the LCA4Bio Project, one of the aims is to apply and develop prospective LCA, where the impacts for product delivery in the future are assessed by considering the future conditions and technology status. In the seminar, LIST presented related past results on “Integration of future water scarcity and electricity supply into prospective life cycle assessment (LCA).”, from a previous H2020 project (SPOTVIEW http://www.spotview.eu/). LCA4bio will work further on this approach. Moreover, Thomas took the opportunity to introduce the LCA4bio project. This all was presented to a Prospective LCA Network attended by about 30 persons all of whom were specialists in Lifecycle Assessment. Other presentations were given with a focus on prospective environmental impact characterization with an additional discussion at the end.
The LCA4Bio Project takes pride in being one of such collective endeavors that have been promoting researchers as well as activities related to sustainability and life-cycle assessment. We continue to look forward to contributing further towards these dialogues while collaborating with environmentalists worldwide on how we can tackle pressing social-environmental problems in our lives.
