Life Cycle Assessment of Inflight Services and Measures to Reduce Their Carbon Footprint

Aviation is an important sector and one of the key contributors to today’s economy. With a forecasted annual growth rate of 4.4%, the sector is expected to expand even more in the coming years. This expansion is however followed by the environmental burdens aviation causes to the environment. Following the anticipated growth of the aviation...

Modelling and implementing future scenarios on Industrial Process Heat generation to quantify future environmental impacts: Using an Integrated Assessment Model's projections to futurise ecoinvent's database heat markets across Industrial Sectors for Prospective LCA Assessments

This study builds upon the existing work on futurizing the ecoinvent database at the service of the prospective LCA method that requires a temporally matched foreground and background system. It is a first effort in modelling future scenarios of Industrial Process Heat (IPH) generation using projections from the IMAGE Integrated Assessment Model...

Ammonia Decarbonisation Pathways and Their Effects on Life Cycle Assessments: Integrating future ammonia scenarios into background data for prospective LCAs

Using the IEA Ammonia Roadmap aligned with the IMAGE electricity scenarios, an extensive database was produced allowing for prospective LCAs across three storylines from 2020 to 2050 (SSP2-Base, SSP2-RCP26, SSP2-RCP19). The scenarios correspond respectively to 3.9, 2.0, and 1.5°C of global warming in 2100 (vs. pre-industrial levels). Regionally,...
