Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) models are increasingly complex and interdisciplinary. Challenges related to transparency, reproducibility, and data interoperability are becoming more critical for both research and practice. Integrating diverse datasets, combining complex modelling approaches, and ensuring methodological consistency across disciplines require not only technical competence but also...

This hands-on workshop introduces a Python-based modelling framework to support consequential life cycle assessment of biobased products using openly available bioeconomy data. Participants will actively work with Jupyter notebooks and an open-source repository to install, set up, and run the model.
Through guided exercises, attendees will learn how to construct a bioeconomy matrix from...
