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).

Christine Molin active in the field of LCA since 1992. Special interest in the development and
dissemination of LCA and in the use of LCA in small and medium sized enterprises.

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.
