Climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution—the triple planetary crisis—increasingly
threaten the Earth system, necessitating tools such as life-cycle assessment (LCA) that can …

Reducing the climate impacts of passenger cars has a high priority on the political agenda,
especially in the EU. However, there is disagreement on how this can best be achieved–with …

Low-carbon (green) hydrogen can be generated via water electrolysis using photovoltaic,
wind, hydropower, or decarbonized grid electricity. This work quantifies current and future …

The European aviation sector must substantially reduce climate impacts to reach net-zero
goals. This reduction, however, must not be limited to flight CO2 emissions since such a …

Hydrogen will play a key role in decarbonizing economies. Here, we quantify the costs and
environmental impacts of possible large-scale hydrogen economies, using four prospective …

The need for a rapid transformation to low-carbon economies has rekindled hydrogen as a
promising energy carrier. Yet, the full range of environmental consequences of large-scale …

The building and construction industry generates 40% of annual global CO2 emissions,
aside from other environmental and social impacts, while it contributes to economic and …

Understanding the future environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for a
sustainable transition to electric vehicles. Here, we build a prospective life cycle assessment …

Plastics consumption continues to steeply increase worldwide, while resultant waste is
currently mostly landfilled, discarded to the environment, or incinerated. This significantly …

Alternative fuels are crucial to decarbonize the European maritime transport, but their net
climate benefits vary with the type of fuel and production country. In this study, we assess the …
