Project description
Life cycle assessment paves the way for zero-emission road transport
A life cycle assessment (LCA) approach for a zero-emission road transport system involves assessing the environmental impact of every stage, from the extraction of raw materials to the disposal of end-of-life products. In this context, the EU-funded TranSensus LCA project will develop a unified, evidence-based LCA approach that is in line with the EU’s Green Deal goals to make Europe a climate-neutral and circular economy. By bringing together industry and research stakeholders, the project will harmonise the LCA approach, taking into account environmental, economic and social factors. The ultimate goal is to enable mobility providers and planners to optimise their products and solutions in a sustainable way, contributing to the fight against climate change.
Objective
TranSensus LCA aims to develop a baseline for a European-wide harmonised, commonly accepted and applied single life cycle assessment (LCA) approach for a zero-emission road transport system. Such a European single LCA approach is seen as a key element in achieving the Green Deal targets, making Europe the first digitally enabled circular, climate-neutral and sustainable economy. Bringing together relevant stakeholders from industry and research, an evidence- and real-life data-based LCA approach will be conceptualised and harmonised embracing environmental, economic and social aspects. By consensus, TranSensus LCA will enable industry, mobility providers and planners to provide sustainable products and to optimise mobility solutions as needed to combat climate change.
