Prospective life cycle assessment of hydrogen produced through solid oxide electrolysis

Session MO.3.B || Prospective Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of Energy Technologies Authors Puig-Samper, Gonzalo; Iribarren, Diego; Dufour, Javier Abstract Within the current context of transition to a sustainable energy system, hydrogen is expected to play a major role. However, this requires moving away from conventional hydrogen production by steam reforming of natural gas. In particular, [...]

Life cycle based assessment of decarbonisation options – towards scientifically robust carbon neutrality

Session MO.2.C || Transfer Towards Climate Neutrality – Scenarios, Options and Valuation Authors Bach, Vanessa; Finkbeiner, Matthias Abstract According to the Paris Agreement and supported by the IPCC, climate neutrality has to be reached in the next 30 to 50 years in order to tackle climate change. Thus, many strategies to achieve climate neutrality popped [...]

Streamlining environmental footprinting by utilising corporate footprints

Session WE.2.D || Business Life Cycle Networks Authors Williams, Ellie; Vieira, Marisa Abstract When a company undergoes environmental footprinting, they usually only have access to their own data, meaning that when extending the scope beyond their own operations, the data is difficult to collect and is often not available at all. Consequently, data gaps are [...]
