Learning  Objec:ves  

• Understand  the  steps  in  the  LCA  methodology  and  how  it  can  be  used  by  firms  to  make  decisions  around  key  environmental  drivers,  compare  products,  and  evaluate  reduc:on  strategies  

• Recognize  some  key  LCA  decisions  – Purpose  of  the  study  – SeLng  the  system  boundary  – Uncertainty  in  data,  models  and  assump:ons

What  is  Life  Cycle  Assessment?  “LCA  is  a  technique  for  assessing  the  environmental  aspects  and  poten:al  impacts  associated  with  a  product  by:  • compiling  an  inventory  of  relevant  inputs  and  outputs  of  a  product  system;  • evalua:ng  the  poten:al  environmental  impacts  associated  with  those  

inputs  and  outputs;  • interpre:ng  the  results  of  the  inventory  analysis  and  impact  assessment  

phases  in  rela:on  to  the  objec:ves  of  the  study.”    ISO  14040  

LCA  takes  a  life  cycle  view  of  a  products,  from  raw  materials  through  end  of  life.    It  applies  to  services  as  well  as  products

History  of  LCA  

• First  study  credited  to  Coca  Cola  in  1969  – Cans  or  glass  bodles  

• Rise  of  “hired  gun”  studies  in  the  80s  – 11  state  adorney  generals  recommend  against  using  LCA  for  adver:sements  

• Move  towards  uniform  methodologies  in  the  90s  – SETAC  working  groups  – ISO  standards

Goal  and  scope  defini:on  

• Decide  the  product  to  be  studied  and  the  purpose  of  the  study  – What  is  the  intended  applica:on  of  the  study?  – What  is  the  reason  for  carrying  it  out?  – To  whom  are  the  results  to  be  communicated?  

• Choice  of  func:onal  unit  • System  boundary  • Types  of  environmental  impact  • Level  of  detail  ESD.S43  -­‐  Spring  2014   ©  2014  E.  Blanco  and  T.  Craig  -­‐  MIT  CTL   8

– Characteriza:on  calculates  the  contribu:on  of  the  emissions  and  resources  for  each  type  of  environmental  impact

Study  Conclusions  

• Use  phase  is  the  key  driver  for  dryers• Electricity  grid  mix  and  use  intensity  are  themost  sensi:ve  parameters  

• Dyson  Airblade  shows  lowest  impact  in  general  

• Recommenda:ons  – Reduce  energy  consump:on  in  use  – Shorten  drying  :mes  – Switch  from  aluminum  to  other  materials

Tricks  and  Traps  for  LCA:  • Spend  :me  defining  goal  and  scope,  understand  the  reason  for  

your  study  • Start  with  a  quick  es:mate  

– Does  my  product/service  use  energy  in  the  use  phase?  – Does  my  product/service  require  advanced  manufacturing  processes?  – What  is  the  bill  of  materials  for  my  product  or  what  does  my  service  

require?  • Iden:fy  major  sources  of  impact  to  drive  data  collec:on  priori:es  • Why  your  study  may  differ  from  another  

– Use  phase  profile    – Grid  mix  – Alloca:on  schemes
