LCA methodologies and results for the algae production

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been used for more than 20 years to assess the environmental impacts of algae systems. The growing number of LCA publications and the systematic integration of LCA in European projects demonstrate the importance of achieving economic, environmental, and social sustainability in the algae sector. Since the consumption of energy and nutrients have been widely identified as the main contributors to the environmental impacts of algae systems, numerous mitigation strategies have been tested to reduce these impacts. However, the lack of transparency in LCA studies as well as methodological challenges make LCA results difficult to interpret and compare.

This webinar offers a unique opportunity to learn more about LCA methodologies and results interpretation. Academic and industrial experts will share their experiences with LCA, focusing on both micro- and macroalgae, and demonstrate why this tool is (and will be) a key aspect in developing novel algal products in the future.
