Training Course on LCA for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies

Aim of the course

The FC-HyGuide project, funded by the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) aims to develop a guidance document and related training materials for LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) studies on fuel cells and hydrogen production. The document is based on the ILCD (International Reference Life Cycle Data System) Handbook co-developed by the European Commission's JRC-IES and the ISO standards 14040/14044. The guidance document includes a manual that offers step by step guidance for LCA practitioners in industry and research to perform an LCA and also demonstrates some case studies. The project will make the related information available in the ILCD (International reference Life Cycle Data system) Data Network.

Sustainability is a key driver of the  European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) activities and it is necessary to assess the new developments towards these goals. LCA will therefore be applied throughout the FCH JU on a programme level. To meet this goal the FCH JU will require dedicated practice guidance for hydrogen  fuel cell technologies.

Who may attend?
 
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) practitioners, all interested participants from hydrogen and fuel cell industry, SME, research and academia.

Registration is obligatory to attend the training course. Registration ends 14^th of September.
