The European Commission’s roadmap aims to install 60 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050, requiring substantial raw materials. Airborne wind energy (AWE) offers a promising alternative with lower material demand and environmental impact. This thesis assesses the environmental impact of a 100 kW soft-kite AWE system using life cycle assessment (LCA). The target market for these AWE systems includes off-grid remote areas. Thus, a comparative LCA of hybrid power plant (HPP) configurations was conducted using site data from a military base in Marseille, France. Results show the Falcon AWE system has a GWP of 8.6 kg CO2 eq/MWh and CED of 144.1 MJ/MWh, with the ground station being the most impactful component. For the HPP, including diesel generators and batteries reduces the oversizing of renewable components, enhancing sustainability. Future recommendations include developing AWE-specific databases and evaluating more impact indicators.
