GRAPHERGIA Deliverable 6.1 Preliminary LCA and LCC Assessment

Le résumé fourni par la source

The GRAPHEGIA project was launched on the 1st of October, 2023, for 3,5 years, and it is a research and innovation project co-funded by the European Union. It uses graphene-enabled innovation to develop novel and sustainable energy-harvesting and storage systems. Deliverable 6.1 “Preliminary LCA and LCC Assessment” was created by Next Technology Tecnotessile, project partners leading Work Package 6 ”Life cycle assessment, sustainability and ecodesign approach”. Abstract This report presents a preliminary sustainability assessment of graphene-based technologies developed within GRAPHERGIA. Three demonstrators are analysed: (1) self-charging textiles for energy harvesting and storage, (2) self-powered aerospace sensors embedded in composites, and (3) graphene-enhanced lithium-ion battery modules for space applications. The study applies Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC), and Eco-Cost methodologies, following ISO 14040/14044 standards and using SimaPro with Ecoinvent database. Results identify environmental and economic hotspots, highlight potential cost-reduction pathways, and provide early guidance for eco-design strategies. NOTE: This deliverable has not yet been approved by the European Commission. The approved public version will be updated as soon as possible.
