Data innovation will drive transformation in sustainability
To transition to a truly sustainable world, we need to scale up LCA massively. New technologies and data innovation make that possible. We’ve already tried it in real life!
SETAC Europe 2023: Three key takeaways, and what we’re doing about them
Three main challenges are defining the fact-based sustainability world right now: data, standardization and collaboration. At PRé, we’re already working on the key next steps.
The EMA workbench: using parameter ranges to reduce uncertainty in LCA modeling
The EMA workbench tool can be used to tackle uncertainty in LCA modeling through computational experimentation and parameter ranges. A solar panel case study shows how it works.
Data dive: Network science meets life cycle assessment
For the best results, LCA experts should keep an eye out for tools from other fields. Let’s explore what LCA can learn from network science, its methods and ways of looking.
We have a vision: trustworthy life cycle information accessible to all
For LCA to truly take off, the LCA community needs to solve the information exchange and comparability challenge. A consortium of experts took a huge step during the EC-funded Remodelling project.

The ILCD format – solving LCA data exchange problems
Exchanging data with other LCA practitioners is tricky. Recently, many new tools have been created for conversion into and out of the ILCD format, which makes converting datasets and sharing data and models much easier.
Agri-footprint: a keystone database for sustainable food worldwide
With the release of Agri-footprint 2.0, it's a good time to look back at some of the influential projects Agri-footprint has been used for so far. From product design tools to labelling schemes, from national analysis to scientific publications.
