DF 43 – Life Cycle Assessment Of Electromobility - Answers And Challenges
We kindly invite you to the 43rd discussion forum on Life Cycle Assessment
The official language during this event is English
Alternative ways and means of transportation are necessary in order to reduce the environmental impacts of mobility. In the recent years biofuels were first seen as a main option and then LCA showed also possible hazards of this development. Recently, public interest is rapidly shifting towards electro mobility. Therefore it is necessary to also gain better knowledge about the environmental impacts of this technology. This includes a modelling of the pathways of the necessary increase in electricity supply and an appropriate modelling of battery manufacture. At this forum most recent results of life cycle assessment studies of electric car driving compared to driving fossil- and agro-fuelled cars will be presented. The environmental performance of individual and public electric mobility will be discussed in view of promising win-win strategies. Policy implications and research needs derived from current LCA work will be highlighted.
The forum will profit from the input of several topical experts, covering aspects such as electricity demand of electric vehicles in everyday life, marginal electricity supply mixes, design, performance and manufacture of batteries as well as resource and raw materials availability.
This discussion forum will address the following questions:
- What is the state of the art information underlying todays LCA of electric cars?
- Do we know enough about the long-term performance and supply chain of batteries?
- How might an increase in electricity demand affect the (Swiss) consumer mix?
- What are crucial aspects to be considered in an LCA of electric mobility to support public policy making?
We look forward to meeting you in Zürich!
