1. 1. Life Cycle Assessment and Decision Making: Theories and Practices

   Författare :Henrikke Baumann; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment; LCA practice; LCA methodology; LCA modelling; institutionalisation; LCA procedure; life cycle accounting; LCA; systems analysis; decision making;

   Sammanfattning : Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been in use to a varying extent since the late 1960s. The fact that LCA methodology needs further development is a frequently identified barrier to the further application of LCA. Consequently, the literature with suggestions for improving LCA methodology is extensive. LÄS MER

3. 2. Life cycle assessment in the development of forest products : Contributions to improved methods and practices

   Författare :Gustav Sandin; Magdalena Svanström; Greg Peters; Mats Westin; Annica Pilgård; Michael Narodoslawsky; RISE; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; R D; LCA; Life cycle assessment; wood; forest product; forestry; impact assessment; scenario modelling; end-of-life modelling; allocation; multi-functional; planetary boundaries; life cycle inventory; life cycle impact assessment; environmental assessment;

   Sammanfattning : The prospect of reducing environmental impacts is a key driver for the research and development (R&D) of new forest products. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is often used for assessing the environmental impact of such products, e.g. for the purpose of guiding R&D. LÄS MER

4. 3. Indicators for Measuring the Sustainability of Urban Water Systems - A Life Cycle Approach

   Författare :Margareta Lundin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; indicators; wastewater systems; LCA; decision-making; environmental systems analysis; sewage sludge; sustainable development; life cycle assessment; urban water systems;

   Sammanfattning : Infrastructure for the provision of drinking water and the treatment of wastewater and stormwater, is essential for an urban society. In this project methods are developed which measure and assess the sustainability of urban water systems. LÄS MER

5. 4. Environmental, health and safety assessment of phase-change solvents for post combustion CO2 capture

   Författare :Gulnara Shavalieva; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase-change solvents; carbon capture; CAMD; LCA; EHS;

   Sammanfattning : A novel class of solvents exhibiting liquid-liquid phase separation upon reaction with CO2 and/or change in temperature, promises significant reduction of energy requirement of the post combustion capture by chemical absorption. However, proceeding to a large-scale application of novel materials requires holistic evaluation of the aspects related to human health, safety, and environmental impacts currently missing for phase-change solvent alternatives.

7. 5. Managing Uncertainty in Environmental and Cost Life Cycle Studies of Building Design

   Författare :Peter Ylmen; Jesper Arfvidsson; Kristina Mjörnell; Johanna Berlin; Tomas Ekvall; RISE; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building design; life cycle; LCA; LCC; uncertainties; method; Building design; life cycle; LCA; LCC; uncertainties; method;

   Sammanfattning : In order to mitigate global warming and address other pertinent environmental issues, it is important to reduce the environmental impact from the building stock. Emissions can be large for both operational energy consumption and production of materials. LÄS MER
