The research performed by Sibylle introduces methodological and practical advancements to improve the assessment of negative emissions from CCU systems. Key methodological contributions include refined approaches for accounting for atmospheric CO2, defining functional units, and managing multifunctionality. Additionally, a novel method helps LCA practitioners prioritize efforts by identifying flows where temporal information is essential. On the practical side, the study provides comprehensive inventory tables, conversion factors for emissions from ruminant feeding, and Python scripts to enhance reproducibility and demonstrate emerging analytical tools. These contributions aim to facilitate more accurate and effective life cycle assessments in the field of carbon management. More details about Sibylle's work can be find in her profile and here.
