In an effort to clarify the path towards sustainable milk production in Canada, the Dairy Farmers of Canada, in the context of the Dairy Research Cluster, commissioned the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Canadian Milk.
In an effort to clarify the path towards sustainable milk production in Canada, the Dairy Farmers of Canada, in the context of the Dairy Research Cluster, commissioned the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Canadian Milk. The project’s objectives were threefold: 1) To evaluate the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of dairy production in Canada; 2) To identify potential areas of focus for further improvements of the dairy sector’s sustainability; 3) To provide the framework and the building blocks to support comparison and benchmarking.
In Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the accounting of biogenic carbon is little harmonized. Different, even contradictory, approaches are identified in current standards for different sectors of the economy (biofuel, bio-based plastics, construction, etc.). The general objectives of this study are to identify the issues at stake in these approaches, in order to issue recommendations for several actors.
Open source Input-Output LCA model and tool to estimate life cycle impacts of products and services
Biomass energy, or bioenergy, is energy produced from renewable biomass, for which the assessment of environmental impacts through life cycle assessment (LCA) presents a number of challenges, in particular methodological ones. The general objectives of this study are to analyze current practices for carrying out LCAs of biomass energy, and to provide recommendations on current and future best practices.
