The Circular Industries Talks are organized every second Wednesday at the Circular Industries Hub. In this edition, Hazem ELTohamy, PhD student at the Institute of Environmental Sciences at Leiden University, talks about a review of current practices of life cycle assessment in electric mobility: a first step towards method harmonization. Curious for more? Take a look at the recording at the bottom of this page.
Harmonizing our choices when conducting LCA is a demanding task, but it is crucial for a transparent judgement regarding our transportation choices.”
It is widely acknowledged that unharmonized methodological and data choices in life cycle assessments (LCAs) can limit comparability and complicate decision-making, ultimately hindering their effectiveness in guiding the rapid transition to electric mobility in Europe. The electric mobility sector aims to harmonize these assumptions and choices to improve comparability and better support decision-making. This review provides a comprehensive overview on the LCA practices in the field which is very important in order to understand where we are starting from in our harmonization efforts.

The Circular Industries talks
The goal of the Circular Industries talks is to share knowledge across Leiden, Delft and Erasmus and to complement and deepen the knowledge already available within the Circular Industries Hub. The talks are organized on Wednesday morning from 10:00 to 11:00. The talks are online (Microsoft Teams).
