Short Description of the course:
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a technique for assessing the environmental aspects associated with a product over its life cycle. The most important applications are:
- analysis of the contribution of the life cycle stages to the overall environmental load, usually with the aim to prioritize improvements on products or processes
- comparison between products for internal or internal communications.
This course will give the participants opportunity to improve the knowledge about the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and to gain the skills to perform simplified LCA studies and to analyze, discuss and comment international scientific articles on LCA. The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC), International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) and European Reference Life Cycle Data System (ELCD). The focus will be on practical examples of applying LCA in industry and improving the environmental performance and sustainability of products and services.
The course will highlight the details of
- LCA methodology and application
- the techniques and the tools needed for the LCA analysis
- standards ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 and international development.
During the course many examples will be elaborated, including the ones related to the emerging risks and, furthermore, participants will develop their own examples using standard LCA software.
The participants will have the opportunity
- to enjoy discussions with the main lecturer Mr. Leo Breedveld, a prominent expert in the area of LCA, and with the course organizers
- to learn about the newest developments in the area of the international (ISO) standards and the EU approaches (e.g. "Life Cycle Thinking" and the "decoupling indicators")
- to participate in the hands-on breakout sessions, including use of LCA tools (SimaPro) and
- to ask about practical details of examples dealing with LCA for bio-fuels, advanced engineering materials, nanomaterials and other new technology related products.
In the end of the course the students are expected to:
- have basic knowledge about LCA methodology and application
- know the link between LCA and HSE
- be familiar with the most important concepts and terminology used in LCA
- have skill to perform simplified LCA using some of most commonly used software tools.
