Enhancing climate impact assessment with surface albedo effects of land cover changes
Mescal
Sself
Advancements in life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input–output analysis enable quick generic estimations of the environmental footprint of almost any product and service. However, going beyond a generic estimate to an assessment based on actual, specific supply chain data remains costly and impracticable and demands significant sharing of proprietary data between supply chain actors and the LCA practitioner. Achieving wides…
Optimization of the end‐of‐life tire repartition within the European treatment system to minimize its environmental impacts
This study contrasts two different approaches to inform European‐scale decision‐making to mitigate the environmental impacts of the end‐of‐life tires (ELT) management system. The first analysis is a traditional life cycle assessment (LCA) that compares the environmental performances of the 12 main available European end‐of‐life (EOL) technologies in ELT processing while restricting the boundaries to the EOL stage. The second analysis has a broade…
How much sorting is required for a circular low carbon aluminum economy
Differentiation of greenhouse gases in corporate science-based targets improves alignment with Paris temperature goal
Companies are increasingly setting greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets to align with the 1.5 °C goal of the Paris Agreement. Currently, companies set these science-based targets (SBTs) for aggregate GHGs expressed in CO 2 -equivalent emissions. This approach does not specify which gases will be reduced and risk misalignment with ambitious mitigation scenarios in which individual gas emissions are mitigated at different rates. We propo…
Sector‐specific scenarios for future stocks and flows of aluminum
Correcting remaining truncations in hybrid life cycle assessment database compilation
What future for primary aluminium production in a decarbonizing economy
Hybridization of complete PLCA and MRIO databases for a comprehensive product system coverage
Process‐based Life Cycle Assessments (PLCA) rely on detailed descriptions of extensive value chains and their associated exchanges with the environment, but major data gaps limit the completeness of these system descriptions and lead to truncations in inventories and underestimations of impacts. Hybrid Life Cycle Assessments (HLCA) aim to combine the strength of PLCA and Environmentally Extended Input Output (EEIO) analysis to obtain more specifi…
Lc‐impact
Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) is a lively field of research, and data and models are continuously improved in terms of impact pathways covered, reliability, and spatial detail. However, many of these advancements are scattered throughout the scientific literature, making it difficult for practitioners to apply the new models. Here, we present the LC-IMPACT method that provides characterization factors at the damage level for 11 impact categ…
Implementing a Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment Methodology with a Case Study on Domestic Hot Water Production
This work contributes to the development of a dynamic life cycle assessment (DLCA) methodology by providing a methodological framework to link a dynamic system modeling method with a time‐dependent impact assessment method. This three‐step methodology starts by modeling systems where flows are described by temporal distributions. Then, a temporally differentiated life cycle inventory (TDLCI) is calculated to present the environmental exchanges th…
Biogenic Carbon and Temporary Storage Addressed with Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment
A growing tendency in policy making and carbon footprint estimation gives value to temporary carbon storage in biomass products or to delayed greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Some life cycle‐based methods, such as the British publicly available specification (PAS) 2050 or the recently published European Commission's International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) Handbook , address this issue. This article shows the importance of consistent …
Considering Time in LCA
The lack of temporal information is an important limitation of life cycle assessment (LCA). A dynamic LCA approach is proposed to improve the accuracy of LCA by addressing the inconsistency of temporal assessment. This approach consists of first computing a dynamic life cycle inventory (LCI), considering the temporal profile of emissions. Then, time-dependent characterization factors are calculated to assess the dynamic LCI in real-time impact sc…
Towards a new index for environmental sustainability based on a Daly weighting approach
Composite indicators are synthetic indices that are used to rank country performances in specific policy areas. Many do, however, suffer from methodological difficulties. Specific difficulties linked to indices for environmental sustainability are analyzed through the illustration of several sets. The most critical issues are linked with a poor analytical framework and a lack of common unit for the aggregation. Some measure directly the state of …
