Robust policy evaluation in material flow analysis under deep uncertainty

Norbert Weijenberg, Willem Auping, Sietske Lensen, Anna Schwarz et autres

Abstract This study proposes a novel framework for robust policy evaluation in material flow analysis (MFA) under deep uncertainty. It is motivated by our observation that, under data scarcity, conventional uncertainty analysis methods may overstate the available knowledge by attempting to characterize …

Terrestrial Ecotoxicity of Plastics: Effect Factors for Life Cycle Impact Assessment

Christina Galafton, Laura J. Zantis, Nils Thonemann, Martina G. Vijver

Soils act as major plastic pollution sinks, with potential implications for terrestrial ecosystem services. In life cycle assessment (LCA), such impacts are quantified using characterization factors that describe the fate, exposure, and effects of emitted substances. In this study, we develop terrestrial …

Stepwise guidance for tackling multifunctionality challenges in prospective life cycle assessment

Leon Zacharopoulos, Nils Thonemann, Bernhard Steubing, Jeroen Guinée et autres

Abstract Prospective life cycle assessment (pLCA) is increasingly used to assess the potential environmental impacts of product systems under future scenarios. However, addressing uncertainties arising from future variability in multifunctional processes remains a methodological challenge. For example, waste heat that is considered …

An analysis of the effects of changes in Premise databases on the environmental impacts of key products

Marc van der Meide, Mingming Hu, Bernhard Steubing, Nils Thonemann et autres

Abstract Purpose Premise has been quickly adopted as a major tool for performing prospective LCAs (pLCA). Premise databases are generated by combining the ecoinvent database and data from climate change (CC) scenarios implemented in Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). Both the extent of …

Environmental impacts of on-board carbon capture on two LNG-fueled ships

Lavinia Reitz, Nils Thonemann, Christina Wulf, Bernhard Steubing et autres

Decarbonization targets for the maritime sector until 2050 require greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation options like alternative fuels and on-board carbon capture (OCC). This study assesses GHG mitigation and side-effects of OCC via Life Cycle Assessment of two LNG-fueled ships, the large crane …

Guidance on integrating marine environmental impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement into life cycle assessment

Mona H. Delval, Patrik J. G. Henriksson, Paul Behrens, Laura Scherer et autres

Abstract Purpose Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is considered a promising marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) option and may contribute to climate change mitigation. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to assess OAE environmentally but faces limitations in capturing marine impacts. Improving the …

Recommendations for an informed and responsible use of Integrated Assessment Models in prospective LCA

Aaron Paris, Marc van der Meide, Amelie Müller, Bernhard Steubing et autres

Abstract Purpose Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) are increasingly used to generate prospective Life Cycle Inventory (pLCI) databases for prospective Life Cycle Assessment (pLCA). This offers advantages, such as reducing temporal mismatches and representing sector-wide mitigation. However, studies often show limited awareness of …
