Life Cycle Assessment of PV technologies: studies and data for benchmarks values definition - 2026_IDR_DABC_12
The research involves a detailed analysis of the state of the art regarding Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of photovoltaic technologies, with the aim of gathering LCA studies and reference environmental data (including both impact profiles and detailed Life Cycle Inventory—LCI—data). The objective is to establish benchmarks for mainstream and innovative photovoltaic technologies, compare the various technologies in terms of performance and environmental profiles, and identify the key hotspots associated with each technology, identify circularity strategies and their environmental effectiveness. The data can support the development of detailed LCAs using primary data, to be carried out with appropriate software (e.g., SimaPro).
