Life-Cycle Lunch
Seminars The Life-Cycle Lunch Seminars (LCLS) are sessions
in which researchers (both from CIE and invited speakers) present and discuss
topics related to Life-Cycle Assessment and Management, in the context of
ongoing projects/thesis. They usually take place before the CIE group lunch,
on Wednesdays, and last approximately 45 minutes (20-30 min presentation +
15-20 min discussion). The aim of the LCLS is to share and
expand the knowledge on LCA and related topics as well as to create synergies
between researchers at CIE and other organizations. If
you are interested in attending one of our upcoming seminars, please send an
email to rita.garcia(a)dem.uc.pt. Upcoming

optimization model for distributed generation in buildings”, by Amir Safaei. 29 October “Robust
decision making in vehicle LCA, the need for uncertainty propagation”, by Maarten Messagie. The aim of this lecture is to give insights in how
to bring uncertainty propagation in LCA. One of the main shortcomings in
literature on vehicle LCA is the lack of incorporating uncertainties. In most
studies, environmental impacts are shown with single values. The complexity,
uncertainty and variability of the system are not well approximated with
single values. Single values approximate the environmental impact of a
vehicle, but fail to provide a wider view on the possible effects.
Uncertainties are an inherent part of LCA and should not be avoided but
embraced and made explicit in the result. Identifying and integrating
uncertainties in the result gives a more robust interpretation. Many sources
of uncertainty exist in LCA, two distinct classes of uncertainties are
discussed, namely parameter uncertainty and modeling uncertainty. Firstly, parameter uncertainty deals with the
variability of the car market, the mismatches between the theoretic values
derived from the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) compared to the real life
driving conditions and the unrepresentativity and
inaccuracy of the background data (data from general databases). The most
spectacular differences between the NEDC and the real-life values concern the
emissions of NOx and CO. However, the contribution of the market variability
to the overall uncertainty is larger compared with the uncertainties due to
differences in driving cycle. The influence of the uncertainties on the
result is made explicit by adding error bars in the LCA graphs. Secondly, modeling uncertainty deals with the
uncertainty in life cycle impact assessment due to normalization, weighting
and methodology. The choice of the Life Cycle Impact Assessment method itself
introduces an uncertainty. The different vehicle technologies are compared
using EDIP, Eco-Indicator 99, EPS and Impact 2002 to calculate the
environmental performance. As the impact methods have different viewpoints on
environmental impact a large difference in ranking is observed. Dr.
ing. Maarten Messagie is a full-time post-doc researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel,
where he leads the LCA team of MOBI – Mobility, Logistics and automotive
technology research centre (http://mobi.vub.ac.be).
MOBI is an interdisciplinary and growing team of +50 staff members focused on
sustainable mobility and logistics. Maarten Messagie
graduated in 2006 as engineer specialized in industrial design. In 2008 he
obtained a Master degree in “Sustainable Development and Human Ecology” at
the Vrije Universiteit
Brussel. He studied Life Cycle Assessment as PhD student at the Aalborg
University and at the University of Trondheim (NTNU). In 2013 he received his
PhD in engineering from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He is an active member of EARPA
(European Automotive Research Partner Association) and collaborates
intensively to the vehicle LCA task of the International Energy Agency.
Maarten develops and coordinates several large European and national projects
and supervises PhD students. He is a guest lecturer teaching Life Cycle
Assessment at the VUB and ULB. His expertise and research focus is on
uncertainty propagation in Life Cycle Assessment, vehicle-LCA, sustainable
energy systems, mineral and metal depletion, electric vehicles, energy
storage technologies, transition pathways, sustainability concepts,
consequential LCA, ecodesign, life cycle
management, environmental business model generation and market driven
environmental consequences of consumption. 11 June “Environmental
Sustainability Assessment of Soybean and Palm Biodiesel Systems”, by Érica Castanheira. 15 January “Social
Life-Cycle Assessment”, by Chongyang Du. 2013 12 December “Integration
of LCA and Risk Analysis: the case-study of soy biodiesel production”, by Francesco Spina. 3 April “SALCA
– Swiss Agricultural Life Cycle Assessment”, by Carolina Passeira. Agricultural systems have become a focus in the
last three decades, not only because of their obvious importance in humans’
life but also because of their contributions for global warming (about 12% of
the total emissions, according to the IPCC). For that reason, stakeholders
saw an opportunity to create a generic tool to assess and improve
agriculture’s environmental impacts. From a strong connection between Agroscope, Ecoinvent and several
stakeholders in food production, food and energy industry, government and
consumers, SALCA was shaped. This user friendly generic tool was already used
for many studies, in many points of Europe, and it has proven its value and
consistency. 6 March “The
Environmental Impact of Internet-Based Services”, by Vlad Coroama. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
are increasingly seen as important contributors towards societal
dematerialization, through the substitution of ICT-based services for less
efficient processes and activities. Such claims, however, seldomly
go beyond mere visions, as the substitutes’ own environmental impacts are
poorly understood. While numerous assessments of the energy consumption and
carbon intensity of ICT equipment were put forward, they typically only pay
attention to the use-phase of the equipment, ignoring the rest of the life
cycle. Moreover, existing studies focus on ICT equipment and largely ignore
the services it enables, which are the ones actually inducing
dematerialization. The talk focuses on these gaps and presents some recent,
LCA-based studies of the environmental impact of Internet-based services. About Vlad Coroama: A
computer scientist by education, Vlad's research focuses on the environmental
impact assessment of the Internet, its services, and their dematerialization
potential. He is both a skeptic about his own field, and a firm believer in
Dave MacKay's "1% rule" that states that, when it comes to
sustainability, the societal and academic discussion should focus on the big
numbers, and not on peanuts. 13 February “Presentation

"Sunflower or
Microalgae Biodiesel in Portugal: a comparative life cycle assessment", by Filipa Figueiredo This paper presents a Life Cycle Assessment of two biodiesel systems,
one produced from sunflower oil and the other from microalgae, using the
impact assessment method ReCiPe. Different
alternative scenarios were considered regarding raw material production for
both systems. An assessment of the cultivation area needed for the
substitution of 10% of diesel consumed in the transportation sector for
biodiesel was also performed. “Environmental Life Cycle
Assessment of Conventional and Electric Vehicles", by Pedro Marques This paper aims at presenting a comparative life-cycle assessment of
conventional (diesel and gasoline) and electric (BEV and PHEV) vehicles. Five
environmental impact categories have been analyzed (abiotic depletion,
acidification, eutrophication, global warming and ozone layer depletion),
using the CML 2000 method. The results show that the electricity mix scenario
is a determining factor in the choice of the technology with the least
environmental impacts for four of the five categories analyzed (abiotic
depletion, acidification, eutrophication and global warming). “Energetic and
Environmental Assessment of the demilitarization of military munitions in
static kiln", by Carlos
Ferreira Nowadays organizations face growing environmental constraints,
particularly in the form of legal requirements, and the defense sector is no
exception. The main objective of this paper is to present a Life-Cycle
Assessment of demilitarization, assessing the energy and environmental
impacts. Results show that incineration and gas treatment are the main
contributors to energy and environmental impacts, due to the consumption of
propane and electricity. 14 February “LCA (cradle-to-gate)

(depleção abiótica, acidificação, eutrofização, aquecimento global, depleção
da camada de ozono) com recurso ao método CML 2000. Concluiu-se que o cenário
de geração de electricidade é determinante na
escolha da tecnologia com menores impactes ambientais, para 4 das 5
categorias analisadas (depleção abiótica, aquecimento global, acidificação e
eutrofização). “Avaliação
