Prediction on the recovery of future timber volumes to strengthen consequential LCA approaches of cascading timber: the PRecTimber model

Session WE.1.C || Methodological Approaches to Assess Life Cycle Consequences Authors Szichta, Pia; Risse, Michael; Weber-Blaschke, Gabriele; Richter, Klaus Abstract Its contribution to a bioeconomy and climate change mitigation will likely increase the demand for wood in the future. In this context, wood cascading represents a promising concept to increase the efficiency of wood utilization. [...]

Remanufacturing business model cases for a Circular Economy

Session WE.3.A || Business Models for a Circular Economy Authors Oiko, Olívia Abstract Nowadays, there is a considerable search for creating business models for circularity and sustainability. Remanufacturing is an industrial process whereby used products are restored to “as new” functional state. It was already considered “the ultimate form of recycling” and also, an essential [...]

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, [...]
