DF 34: Life Cycle Assessment versus CO2 footprint?
The importance of the climate change issue has grown impressively these last months. Companies and authorities today deal with carbon footprint assessment, carbon labelling, carbon offsets and other instruments.
What are the implications of this development on the life cycle assessment methodology?
Are these new “carbon-based instruments” based on the LCA methodology?
Or does CO2 footprinting replace the other impact assessment methods?
And may we include CO2–offsets in the scope of an LCA, to decrease the life-cycle based CO2 emissions of a product?
