Ocean renewable energies and their potential impacts on marine biodiversity

Authors Ruiz Méndez, Dora Yesenia; Güereca Hernández, Leonor Patricia Abstract Ocean renewable energies (ORE) hold a great potential, although still at the research and development stage and not yet commercially available. The slow pace in the growth of ORE is largely based on significant uncertainty surrounding the potential effects of ocean technologies in the marine [...]

Accounting for marine plastics in abiotic resource depletion

Session MO.3.D || Addressing Marine Litter Within Life Cycle Assessment and Management Authors Vázquez-Rowe, Ian; Ita-Nagy, Diana; Kahhat, Ramzy Abstract Mainstream abiotic resource depletion impact categories tend to focus on the extraction of resources (e.g. crude oil) from nature obviating their use in the technosphere, when they are temporarily unavailable, or after their end-of-life, when [...]

Potentials for emission reduction and value creation in the rehabilitation of existing building stock using macroeconomic analysis

Session WE.2.A || Life Cycle Sustainability in Construction and Renovation of Buildings II Authors Perez-Valdes, Gerardo A.; Fufa, Selamawit; Fjellheim, Kristin Abstract Given that most of the world's building stock for the next 30 years already exists today, renovation of existing buildings and infrastructure represent an important pathway towards a more sustainable future. There is [...]

Plastic leakage of packaging in LCA – a theoretical framework

Session MO.3.D || Addressing Marine Litter Within Life Cycle Assessment and Management Authors Scagnetti, Carla; Lorenz, Manuel Abstract The proposed theoretical framework explores how packaging could be assessed from gate-to-grave including the probability to become litter. A growing number of studies have confirmed the omnipresence of plastic pollution. Likewise, it has been revealed that marine [...]

Carbon footprint of soybean products in the Brazilian context – a business case

Authors Novo Fernandes, Matheus Henrique; Scachetti, Michelle Abstract Brazilian agriculture products, specially that derived from soy, have been questioned in the external scenario because they associate their production with deforestation. Studies widely disseminated in Europe bring the results for the soybean meal (SM) and soy protein concentrate (SPC) produced in Brazil in the range of [...]
