How can LCA Support Innovation in Minerals and Metals Production? – Examples from European Projects working at Mid/Low Technology Readiness Level

This workshop will examine how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can support emerging processes in minerals and metals production at mid/low Technology Readiness Levels (TRL 4 – 7).
Conducting LCAs for lab or pilot scale processes presents unique challenges, from data gaps and high uncertainty to the difficulty of scaling-up results to industrial applications. Drawing on examples from Horizon Europe projects, the session will highlight how these challenges are being addressed and how early-stage LCAs can provide valuable insights to guide process development, scale-up, and decision-making.
