Author Biographies

Anders Bjørn part of the LCA community since the early 2010s. Main focus is interpretations of
sustainability and integration of sustainability targets in LCA to enable absolute sustainability
assessments.
Mikołaj Owsianiak involved in development and application of life cycle impact assessment
methods in sustainability assessment of technologies. Has worked on issues associated with: soils
(remediation), metals (toxic impact assessment), biodiesel (fate in the environment), and
carbonaceous materials (biochar and hydrochar).

Alexis Laurent working with LCA since 2010 with a strong LCIA focus, particularly on
normalisation aspects. Main LCA interests include development of LCIA methods, LCA
applications and footprinting of large-scale systems for policy-making (e.g. nations, sectors), and
LCA applied to various technology domains, including energy systems.
Stig Irving Olsen LCA expert both as researcher and as consultant. Involved in the development
of LCA methodologies since mid 1990’s. Contributed to UNEP/SETAC working groups on LCIA
methodology. Main LCA interest is human toxicity impacts, emerging technologies, and decision
making.

Andrea Corona materials engineer with a focus on sustainability assessment of biobased products
and composite materials. Working with LCA from 2012. Main interests include life cycle
engineering, product development and eco-design.

Michael Z. Hauschild involved in development of LCIA methodology since the early 1990s. Has
led several SETAC and UNEP/SETAC working groups and participated in the development of the
ISO standards and the ILCD methodological guidelines. Main LCA interests are chemical impacts,
spatial differentiation and science-based boundaries in LCIA.
