NordLCA (Life Cycle Analyses Tools to Assess Climate Impact of Road Building) (NordLCA (Life Cycle Analyses Tools to Assess Climate Impact of Road Building))

Sponsors, duration, budget: NordFOU ; 2017-01-01 -- 2019-12-31 Subject(s): Abstract: Reduction of climate impact is highly prioritized, but we need methods and tools that help good decisions and choices through all processes from planning to designing and construction further to operation and maintenance. Existing tools have different background in their development because of their aim. They stand well alone but would gain of cross-linking. The Nordic countries have largely similar conditions in terms of road construction, raw materials and machinery. We therefore wish to further develop and link the respective Nordic tools, and create national adaptations. Possible applications of the tools are: Environmental budget to be used by NRA internally; Tender procedures (requirement or award criterion); Accounting for environment after/during construction. Finland, Norway and Sweden participate in this project.
