Life Cycle Assessment Sample Clauses

Life Cycle Assessment. Life‐cycle assessment (LCA, also known as life‐cycle analysis) is a cradle‐to‐grave environmental impact assessment for built assets, in terms of materials and energy. The energy and materials used, along with waste and pollutants produced as a consequence of a product or activity, are quantified over the whole life cycle; the result representing the environmental load of that asset. ISO 14040 defines LCA methodology.

Life Cycle Assessment. QS acknowledges PowerCo is committed to developing and achieving certain carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) targets for its Cells (such targets, as may be further developed throughout the Term, the “Decarbonization Targets”). Accordingly, PowerCo and QS agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) jointly review PowerCo’s Decarbonization Targets as soon as available, and (b) take all reasonable measures to incorporate the Decarbonization Targets into the plan of record for the Target Design and manufacturing process of the Cells to enable PowerCo to reach its Decarbonization Targets. QS shall share and regularly update all information reasonably required by PowerCo to facilitate a life cycle assessment, including bills of materials, levels of energy consumption, machinery, auxiliaries, material specifications and other similar information to allow PowerCo to conduct life cycle assessments and provide feedback to QS. QS shall consider in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate PowerCo’s feedback into its development process applicable to the Project. The Parties agree to conduct their life cycle assessment activities pursuant to this Section 5.2 primarily through the Scale-Up Team, and otherwise through such other group of representatives of the Parties as the Parties may establish from time to time.

Life Cycle Assessment. Life cycle assessments (LCA) are compilations and interpretations of • inputs and outputs between the technosphere and the environment and • potential environmental impacts of a product or product system • along the total product life cycle. Therefore, life cycle assessments provide comprehensive information about many different environmental impacts of products and services “from cradle to grave,” not just about individual production steps or environmental problems. Life cycle assessments form the basis for environmentally compatible product design and for fundamental decisions related to energy, environmental, and technology policies and to corporate strategies. Most of the procedure for conducting life cycle assessments is defined by ISO standards 14040/44. According to it, a life cycle assessment involves four phases: (1) Goal and scope definition (target groups, system function and boundaries, timely and geographic reference, etc.) (2) Life cycle inventory analysis (graphically: material flow model; inventory of energy, resources, and emissions) (3) Life cycle impact assessment (graphically: “transformation of emissions to environmental impacts") (4) Life cycle interpretation (quality of results, evaluation, recommendations) In the meantime certain simplifications of the quite complex processes are being considered. As for most methods in this chapter 3, it is a crucial question to what extent effects are taken into consideration; which effects are inside and which are outside the boundaries of the analytical system. For practical reasons, certain limitations to the environmental impacts that are analyzed are common and mostly unavoidable for methodological and practical reasons. Such limitations do not question the LCA-claim of being comprehensive as long as they are well documented and reasonable, if its effects on the results are evaluated, and if it is done in accordance with the knowledge being sought in the study concerned. LCA offers an ex-ante assessment of the environmental impacts of a product, a plant or a facility. It is not focussed on policy programmes or policy interventions but its results can be useful for the reflections about any unintended effects in a planning process. So, it needs to be combined with other tools and methods.

Life Cycle Assessment. Using as starting point the previous results of WP08, as well as the results from WP10 (Life Cycle Assessment) we carried out a detailed inventory of impacts (LCI) and a Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) of all the activities related with the water management in general, and the desalination treatments in particular. Detailed information can be found in the WP08 Deliverable 8. 1. As an example, Figure 23a shows the environmental impacts of each one of the main stages of the shale gas production, while Figure 23b presents the comparison of the environmental impacts of each damage subcategory for the different disalination technologies studied.

Related to Life Cycle Assessment

  • Performance Assessment 6.1 The Performance Plan (Annexure A) to this Agreement sets out key performance indicators and competencies that needs to be evaluated in terms of – 6.1.1 The standards and procedures for evaluating the Employee’s performance; and 6.1.2 During the intervals for the evaluation of the Employee’s performance. 6.2 Despite the establishment of agreed intervals for evaluation, the Employer may in addition review the Employee’s performance at any stage while the contract of employment remains in force; 6.3 Personal growth and development needs identified during any performance review discussion must be documented in a Personal Development Plan as well as the actions agreed to and implementation must take place within set time frames; 6.4 The Employee’s performance will also be measured in terms of contributions to the goals and strategies set out in the Employer’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP) as described in 6.6 – 6.13 below; 6.5 The Employee will submit quarterly performance reports (SDBIP) and a comprehensive annual performance report at least one week prior to the performance assessment meetings to the Evaluation Panel Chairperson for distribution to the panel members for preparation purposes; 6.6 Assessment of the achievement of results as outlined in the performance plan: 6.6.1 Each KPI or group of KPIs shall be assessed according to the extent to which the specified standards or performance targets have been met (qualitative and quantitative) and with due regard to ad-hoc tasks that had to be performed under the KPI; 6.6.2 A rating on the five-point scale described in 6.9 below shall be provided for each KPI or group of KPIs which will then be multiplied by the weighting to calculate the final score; 6.6.3 The Employee will submit his self-evaluation to the Employer prior to the formal assessment; 6.6.4 In the instance where the employee could not perform due to reasons outside the control of the employer and employee, the KPI will not be considered during the evaluation.
