These validated metrics, aligned with global standards such as LCA ISO 14044, ISO 14040, and the GHG Protocol, ensure businesses can confidently demonstrate their sustainability efforts while aligning with industry benchmarks. ...
Decarbonization of the power sector plays a key role in achieving climate neutrality and net-zero targets in line with the 1.5ºC goal of the Paris Agreement. Therefore, the rapid transformation from fossil to renewable energy sources such as wind or solar is becoming increasingly important and crucial for countries aiming for ambitious climate targets. Despite the global pandemic, the ...
The model was created with the product sustainability software GaBi and assessment was performed based on ISO 14040 guidelines. The model was based on one ship with a mass of 5000 tonnes (without cargo). ...
The impact categories were climate change, aquatic eutrophication, acidification, and use of primary energy. LCA methodology and ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards were used. Two thousand tons of substrates per hectare of lawn area were assumed to be needed; this large amount explains the importance of the substrate properties for all of the ...
For evaluating environmental impacts in a holistic view, the tool of life cycle assessment (LCA, ISO 14040/44) is suitable to characterize and quantify the direct and indirect effects of new processes and concepts. ...
It presents the results of a life cycle analysis (LCA) consistently in accordance with international standards such as ISO’s 14025, 14040 and 14044. More than 1,000 PEPs are available for a range of E&E and HVAC-R products. ...

The overarching goals of an LCA are to: Develop a comprehensive inventory of material inputs, energy consumption, water usage, and environmental releases Evaluate the potential impacts of environmental releases and resource consumption at each stage of the value chain Clarify and interpret the impact analysis results Use the information to make more informed decisions concerning resource ...
LCA is a technique to assess the potential environmental impact associated with a product or a service throughout its life cycle from raw material acquisition through production, use and disposal. The International ISO Standards provide principles, framework and methodological requirements for conducting LCA studies.Keywords: life cycle assessment, LCA, environmental impact, ...
The application of LCA methodology (ISO 14040 series) enabled us to assess the potential environmental impacts arising from the recycling plants operations. ...
Areas of improvement of an offshore WTF include the recycling of metals, recycling of the wings, minimising resource consumption and increasing the life expectancy of the entire wind turbine. The ISO 14040 standard on LCA was followed and the EDIP (Environmental Design of Industrial Products) method and modelling tool were used [2].Keywords: offshore wind turbine ...
To this end, LCAs must: * be understood and perceived as a reasonable basis for decisions by the intended audience, * be implemented into decision making and industrial practice without unnecessary controversy, * communicate the reliability of their results in terms of uncertainty, based on an assessment of the data quality of the information used, * be critically reviewed according ...
