How can Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) support circularity and low‑carbon solutions for electricvehicles, in line with the ZEvRA project vision?
This course provides a clear and structured introduction to LCA, from fundamental concepts to practical application, with a strong focus on circular economy strategies within the ZEvRA framework. You will learn the ISO‑standardised LCA phases, key terminology, and the role of LCA in EU circular economy and sustainability policies.
Using real-life case studies from the automotive sector, the course shows how LCA supports eco-design, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision making for EV components, recycled materials, and lightweight solutions. Step by step, you will explore how to assess environmental performance, identify hotspots, and avoid burden shifting using a data-driven and transparent approach.
What will you gain?
- Solid understanding of LCA principles, standards (ISO 14040/14044), and terminology
- Practical skills to define functional units, system boundaries, and impact categories
- Insights into data collection, modelling, and interpretation of LCA results
- Ability to apply LCA to circularity challenges in the automotive and related sectors
Who is it for? Engineers, designers, researchers, policymakers, business leaders, and sustainability professionals.
No prior LCA experience required.
