🌱 LCA & CO₂ Dashboards for Smart Energy Systems
International Workshop on Life Cycle Assessment and Carbon Intelligence in Sustainable Energy Infrastructure
About This Course
“LCA & CO₂ Dashboards for Smart Energy Systems” is an international workshop that merges environmental analytics, smart grid intelligence, and data visualization to help energy professionals quantify and communicate the environmental footprint of infrastructure, devices, and consumption patterns.
Participants will work with open LCA datasets, simulation results, and real-time IoT/SCADA-based emission streams. They will learn to use tools like Python (Plotly, Streamlit), Power BI, OpenLCA, and Tableau to build dashboards that integrate life cycle stages, carbon factors, and energy metrics for power plants, microgrids, and renewables.
Aim
To empower participants with practical tools and strategies to design, develop, and interpret Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and carbon dashboards that track environmental impact and CO₂ emissions across smart energy systems, supporting data-backed decisions toward net-zero goals.
Workshop Objectives
-
Introduce participants to LCA as a tool for sustainable energy planning
-
Enable hands-on creation of carbon dashboards with real or simulated data
-
Promote transparency and traceability in emission metrics
-
Support green reporting, regulatory alignment, and net-zero initiatives
-
Foster a data-driven mindset in smart grid design and energy systems planning
