Our specialists combine deep technical expertise with industry-specific insights, enabling you to develop actionable sustainability strategies grounded in robust life cycle thinking.Our training approach focuses on building lasting in-house capabilities that enable continued application of LCA methodologies within your organisation.Why do we use openLCA in our training?openLCA is the LCA/S-LCA tool of choice for Decerna. It is transparent and adaptable, and also the tool used for the US Government’s LCA Commons and the suggested approach for 45Q Tax Credits. openLCA enables us to conduct clear and auditable LCA’s, ranging from basic assessments to verified EPDs and large-scale, complex models for the due diligence assessment of carbon capture and utilisation systems. Since 2015, we have utilised openLCA for all LCA-related tasks within the team, ranging from commercial work to major European research projects, such as MAGNIFICENT and REALM. With the addition of openLCA Collaboration Server, we can create detailed models that can be collaboratively worked on by partners across the globe, with detailed, transparent version control, backups, and ensure models are available for clients for many years into the future.Decerna is the official UK partner for GreenDelta, the makers of openLCA.Course DetailsIncludes:Comprehensive course materialsTraining certificateTea/coffee and lunch provided30 days post-course technical supportEquipment Requirements:Participants should bring laptops (Windows or Mac)Pre-installation instructions for openLCA software will be provided prior to the course - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/life-cycle-assessment-lca-professional-training-course-london/100001542281749229 - **Event Categories**: workshops, performances, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 900, max: 900, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Borough Yards - **lat**: 51.5063475 - **long**: -0.0916775 - **full address**: Borough Yards, Stoney Street, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Professional Training Course - London - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/82ac47376b86282b91b8b0367fc07aeb577a04d33062f956ac5755fa5d4fcad6-rimg-w1200-h720-dc1e1311-gmir.jpg?v=1760612204 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Professional Training Course - London being held? - **A:** Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Professional Training Course - London takes place on Wed, 26 Nov, 2025 at 09:30 am to Wed, 26 Nov, 2025 at 04:30 pm at Borough Yards, Stoney Street, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Professional Training Course - London? - **A:** Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Professional Training Course - London is organized by Decerna. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
