Prof Fausto Freire,
coordinator of the CIE, was invited to participate in the
EXPERT WORKSHOP ON TEMPORARY CARBON STORAGE FOR USE IN LIFE CYCLE
ASSESSMENT & CARBON footprinting, sponsored by the European Commission,
Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability
, 10th October in Ispra (Italy).
The workshop
brought together experts on climate change, carbon footprinting and Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA) to review available options and to define the
best method for accounting for the environmental benefits of temporary
carbon-storage.
The workshop continued the work
developed under the International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD),
which provides methodological recommendations for assessing the
greenhouse gas emissions of goods and services, taking into account
their full life cycle, for use in business and policy.
The output
of this workshop will include a joint review/position paper. This paper
will outline the different approaches, their benefits/limitations, and
present related conclusions to, as far as possible, define a
best-approach.
