The life cycle Sustainability Assessment methods developed within PROSUITE are being applied to four technology cases with close consultation of the stakeholders involved. The chosen cases are biorefineries, nanotechnology, information technologies, and carbon storage and sequestration. These four emergent technologies are potentially pervasive (can be implemented on a large scale), render products or services with medium to high value added, involve innovative industrial processes, and can greatly affect several economic sectors.
The purpose of applying the PROSUITE model development to these case studies is to provide a proof of concept, to give feedback to the methods developers and to provide decision support concerning the four technologies assessed.
An individual description of each technology and first findings can be found by clicking on the active links (next to each picture).
