Handbook

Life Cycle Assessment, or LCA, is a methodological approach for assessing environmental impacts of products, processes, or systems from a life cycle perspective. This course will focus on the application of LCA on energy systems, but it will also explore other fields.

In this course, students will learn both the methodology and applications of LCA. Students will be exposed to a wide range of LCA case studies to demonstrate the process and overall role in environmental impact management, with a focus on applying LCA to assess renewable energy technologies and systems.
