Life cycle assessment

To ensure this new calculator provides the most accurate data on supply chain emissions we need to hear views from across the biomass industry to help further improve the modelling and create a high industry standard for emissions reporting. The consolation period will conclude on 12th June 2020.

Through this report, the aim of the Life Cycle Initiative is to initiate a global process to reach consensus on recommended environmental indicators and characterisation factors (CFs) for life cycle impact assessment (LCIA).

The Centre of Expertise Biobased Economy (CoE-BBE) of the Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences Avans and HZ wants to collaborate more closely with the Flemish Ghent University of Applied Sciences (HOGENT). This may lead to an International Centre of Expertise Biobased Economy.
