Life Cycle Assessment Research Group

Applied research in environmental impact assessment

About us

Our commitment to research and education contributes to integrate life cycle thinking as a basis for ecological decisions in science, business, politics and society.

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.
