A prospective LCA of mycelium-based composites
Environmental impact assessment of future adoption of mycelium-based materials for non-structural aircraft components
As aviation accounts for 13.4% of the transport sector's emissions and 3.6% of all human greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the need for a sustainable bio-based industry arises. Meeting the growing demand for air travel requires a shift towards more sustainable alternatives, particu

Hydrogen-based fuels for European aviation
A prospective life cycle assessment applying scenario analysis
Through exploratory scenario development, this study delves into the environmental impacts of European commercial aviation. Climate targets and the adoption of alternative aviation fuels (AAF) following ReFuelEU Aviation are assessed, considering e-fuel produced from direct air c

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) gene
