Research projects, expert groups & working groups

The Nordic Dialogue Forum for LCA, climate and buildings is developed  in collaboration with the Nordic building authorities. The purpose is to give input to Nordic harmonization of life cycle assessment of climate emissions from buildings with the aim to…

The project provides a meeting place where industry, academia, authorities and other parts of society come together to create opportunities for an increased understanding and use of the life cycle perspective. The project aims to create engagement, knowledge and tools…

Background Information and market pressure in combination with political instruments will in the long run lead to reduced environmental impact and resource use from production and consumption of goods and services, both nationally and globally. Demand for life-cycle based information…

Background While life cycle data is increasingly demanded, manual data collection is time-consuming. Supply chains are complex, all suppliers do not have competence or capacity to provide the data needed. Personal contacts to explain adds to costs. In many cases…

Fuel producers are increasingly affected by conflicting rules for life cycle assessment (LCA). The EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED), the EU framework for Product Environmental Footprints (PEF), and the frameworks of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) all have different requirements on…

Methods for environmental footprinting of products and services have been and are being developed all over the world. Two methods to measure environmental performance throughout the lifecycle, the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and the Organisation Environmental Footprint (OEF), has been…

The aim of the group is to increase the collaboration between government agencies regarding the life cycle perspective and partners in Swedish Life Cycle Center by sharing experiences and knowledge building.

A group consisting of University partners to discuss questions related to education and interests in LCA from an academic point of view. The aim of the group is to gather researchers from our University partners to discuss topics related to education at university level.

LCA data is used by organizations to measure, follow up and reduce environmental and social impact. For the Swedish life Cycle Center it is important to contribute to making LCA data more accessible and transparent globally and therefor this expert group has been established.

Swedish Life Cycle Center has, through the development of the EPS-method and a number of projects, been discussing monetarization for several years. With this group and related activities we hope to contribute to the discussion and implentation of "right prices".
