Life Cycle Assessment Research Group
Through research and education we foster the integration of life cycle thinking in ecological decision-making in science, business, politics and society.
About us
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an impact assessment tool that comprehensively quantifies and evaluates the environmental impacts of products, services, technologies, and systems over the entire life cycle according to scientific criteria.
This impact assessment plays a key role in the optimisation of processes, products and services. It also serves to evaluate different energy concepts and strategies and to communicate environmental benefits.
Course of study
In the Bachelor's degree course in Natural Resource Sciences, the LCA research group is responsible for the minor Sustainability Assessment and develops the modules Life Cycle Assessment and Systems and Models I.
In the Master’s degree courses in Circular Economy Management and Environment and Natural Resources the LCA Research Group is responsible for the modules Advanced Life Cycle Assessment and Ecodesign as well as Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment.
