Should 2-0 LCA be required to register in the client’s Vendor Portal for the purpose of receiving orders and submitting invoices, a one-time fee of EUR 1150 will be incurred.
On the first day, you learn how to put together a complete but simple life-cycle assessment and get an introduction to all four phases of the LCA framework. We also explore the differences between consequential and normative modelling approaches, become familiar with relevant LCA standards, and learn the basics of reporting and critical review. Finally, the session introduces hybridisation methods where you learn how to incorporate your detailed data into an LCI process. In this course, you will learn how to make hybrid processes using the LCA database EXIOBASE.
On the second day, the course dives deeper into LCI modelling, focusing on what to do when life-cycle inventories are no longer simple. You learn how to identify marginal suppliers and understand market dynamics, as well as how to correctly link unit processes. The day also covers co-production, recycling, and system expansion, along with the treatment of indirect land-use change (iLUC). You’re introduced to how different LCA databases are constructed and explore the differences between bottom-up and top-down approaches, including how process-based LCA compares to input–output LCA.
On the third day, the focus shifts to interpretation and quality control, taking a detailed look at phase four of the LCA framework. You learn to recognize common mistakes in LCA studies and evaluate the overall quality of assessments. The course also covers how to present results clearly while ensuring transparency, and how to navigate different standards and meet the expectations of various stakeholders.
