Sustainable Blue Call 2024 on "Unified Paths to Climate-Neutral, Sustainable, and Resilient Blue Economy: Engaging Civil Society, Academia, Policy, and Industry"
Measuring of systems sustainability - Life Cycle Assessment LCA associates all the unitary processes of a product/service function with environmental impacts in different categories and ensures the same methodology is used internationally. Different environmental impact indicators can be assessed: human and ecosystems health, climate change and resource depletion. The results can be analysed with focus in (for instance) a) one specific life cycle phase (production, use, end of life); b) entire life cycle (cradle to grave) or c) end of life scenarios, etc. This way, the different life cycle phases can be compared, hot spots can be identified, and circular strategies can be assessed. Improvements in product systems (reduction of raw materials use, energy savings, minimization of pollution and waste) as well as alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals can be evaluated and proved. Other expertise: Waste recycling methodologies and technologies Ceramics and nanomaterials SOA thermal insulation Thermal Analysis of Materials
PA2 - Blue economy sectors, development of marine multi-use infrastructures
PA3 - Planning and managing sea-uses at the regional level
Looking to join projects that require recognised environmental assessments. We have the expertise to assess the environmental impacts and benefits of products and systems or to measure the benefits of an improvement or of a new technology against a baseline. Our experience is in performing carbon footprint or the whole analysis of inovations life cycle to quantify real environmental impacts.
