Graphene Life Cycle Assessment Task Force

The Graphene Council is seeking volunteers to participate in the development of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) / Global Warming Potential (GWP) for the production and application of graphene. As graphene becomes increasingly used in major applications, end-users and customers require to know the carbon footprint for graphene as a material used in their products. 

The scope of the LCA Task Force will include a.) to define the start and endpoints for our measurements as well as input models for calculation and b.) to agree which international standards or models we will apply to calculate the graphene carbon footprint. 

We are seeking input from all interested stakeholders including graphene producers, customers and users of graphene, regulators and experts on LCA/GWP models. 

Please note that the work product will be the property of The Graphene Council and volunteers will not be compensated.

Our intent is to recommend a common approach to calculating the carbon footprint for the production of graphene that will be used by the Graphene Community for consistent and comparable rights. 

All work will be conducted remotely using the DELPHI method to drive consensus and to have the greatest opportunity for all volunteers to contribute.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this important task!
