摘要

学习对于工业部署技术的发展非常重要,学习曲线已被用于确定未来的生产成本。虽然学习对成本的影响已被广泛研究,但其对环境影响的影响证据很少,而且缺乏概念基础。本研究在回顾理论基础和实证证据的基础上,提出了一种评估工业过程在事前和前瞻性生命周期评估(LCA)中的学习的方法。我们认为,学习涉及操作或组织的变化,这是由激励激励。因此,如果影响的起源与主导激励相一致,环境影响可能遵循学习曲线趋势。一个关键的观察是,结果可能因影响类别而异,某些影响可能根本不会下降。因此,我们制定了在评估环境学习效果和速率时考虑这些差异的指导方针,如LCA上下文中的示例所示。需要进一步的研究来扩大环境学习的证据基础,通过重新解释现有技术的数据集来确定它们的学习率。

Accounting for learning in prospective LCA: Theory and practical guidance

Accounting for learning in prospective LCA: Theory and practical guidance

Learning is important for the development of industrially deployed technologies, and learning curves have been used to determine future production costs. Although the effect of learning on costs has been extensively studied, little evidence exists for its effect on environmental impacts, and a conceptual underpinning is lacking. Based on a review of theoretical foundations and empirical evidence, this study presents a procedure for assessing learning of industrial processes in ex ante and prospective life cycle assessment (LCA). We argue that learning involves operational or organizational changes, which are motivated by incentives. Therefore, environmental impacts may follow a learning curve trend if the origins of impacts coincide with dominant incentives. A key observation is that the results may vary by impact category, and certain impacts may not decline at all. Therefore, we developed guidelines that consider these differences when evaluating environmental learning effects and rates, as illustrated with examples in an LCA context. Further research is needed to expand the evidence base for environmental learning, by re-interpreting datasets of existing technologies to determine their learning rates.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Industrial Ecology addresses a series of related topics: material and energy flows studies (''industrial metabolism'') technological change dematerialization and decarbonization life cycle planning, design and assessment design for the environment extended producer responsibility (''product stewardship'') eco-industrial parks (''industrial symbiosis'') product-oriented environmental policy eco-efficiency Journal of Industrial Ecology is open to and encourages submissions that are interdisciplinary in approach. In addition to more formal academic papers, the journal seeks to provide a forum for continuing exchange of information and opinions through contributions from scholars, environmental managers, policymakers, advocates and others involved in environmental science, management and policy.
