SUMMARY:nova Session: Challenges and Developments in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) (online)
DESCRIPTION:nova Session: Challenges and Developments in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) (online) \nHosts: Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, Ferdinand Kähler\, Niels de Beus\, and Dr. Ángel Puente (all nova-Institute)\n14:00 – 16:00 h (CET)\, online \nIn this upcoming nova-Session (6 November 2024\, 14-16h\, CET)\, we will provide not only a general introduction to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) but also dive in the complexities and challenges surrounding its application. As LCA becomes an essential tool for evaluating the environmental impacts of products and processes\, procurement and sustainability professionals must understand how varying standards and data quality influence outcomes. \nThis session will explore specifically the use of supplier-specific data in LCAs\, but also Scope 3 emissions. We will present real-world examples demonstrating how standards affect results\, alongside best practices for ensuring high-quality and reliable LCA data. Special attention will be given to the role of renewable feedstocks\, Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU)\, mass balance approaches\, and electricity sourcing\, all of which significantly shape LCA results. \nParticipants will gain practical knowledge on navigating the complexities of LCA standards\, ensuring data consistency\, and leveraging supplier data to make informed decisions. This session is tailored for professionals looking to enhance their sustainability strategies and reduce their carbon footprints through informed LCA practices. \n  \nTopics: \n\nIntroduction to LCA: Importance for procurement and sustainability\nSupplier-specific data\nImpact of different LCA standards on results\nData quality\nKey factors influencing LCA: Renewable feedstocks\, CCU\, mass balance\, and electricity sourcing\nPractical case study from industry\n\nProgram: \n14:00–14:10 Welcome and Tour de Table\, Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, nova-Institute \n14:10–14:30 Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)\, Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, nova-Institute \n\nOverview of LCA and its importance for sustainability and procurement\nRole of supplier-specific data in LCA\nCurrent industry efforts to facilitate data sharing\n\n14:30–14:40 Industry Perspective\, Nushin Behzadifar\, FKuR Kunststoff \n\nView from Industry: Problems\, Current Demands\, Challenges\n\n14:40–15:00 Different Standards\, Different Results (CASE STUDY 1)\, Ferdinand Kähler\, nova-Institute \n\n How different LCA methods impact LCA results\nCase examples: Comparing outcomes from different standards\n\n15:00–15:20 Quality of LCA Data (CASE STUDY 2)\, Niels de Beus\, nova-Institute \n\nCriteria for high-quality and reliable data\nBest practices for ensuring consistent LCA assessments\nFrom hot-spot analysis to peer-reviewed data\n\n15:20–15:40 Main Levers in Renewable Feedstocks\, Dr. Ángel Puente\, nova-Institute \n\nSystem boundaries in LCA\nThe role of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU)\nMass balance\nThe impact of electricity sourcing on LCA outcomes\n\n15:40–16:00 Discussion & wrap-up\, Dr. Matthias Stratmann\, nova-Institute \nThis session offers valuable insights for professionals in procurement\, sustainability\, and supply chain management\, equipping them with knowledge on how to navigate the evolving landscape of LCA. \n
