On Wednesday, 15 October 2025, the CACTUS project hosted an online webinar dedicated to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Methodologies for photovoltaic technologies.
During this 1.5-hour session, the speakers explored a range of topics, including:
✔️ Environmental LCA methodologies for PV systems
✔️ LCA of PV installations in desert environments
✔️ Social LCA approaches for PV technologies
✔️ Interactive Q&A session with participants
The webinar featured insightful presentations from:
🌵 Cristina Polacchi, Eurac Research
🌵 Denet Soler T., Universidad de Antofagasta
🌵 Anna Bargues, Becquerel Institute
🌵 Facilitator: Nouha Gazbour, CEA-Liten
For those who were unable to attend, the video replay is now available.
This online session provided participants with valuable knowledge and practical tools to enhance their understanding of environmental and social LCA approaches in the PV sector. The CACTUS project thanks all participants for joining this enriching exchange on advancing LCA methodologies in the field of sustainable photovoltaics.
The event was organised in collaboration with CACTUS partners:
CEA, ESRF – The European Synchrotron, ILL – Institut Laue-Langevin, Eurac Research, TECNALIA Research & Innovation, Becquerel Institute, ATAMOSTEC, EU-SOLARIS, and Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
This webinar fostered valuable exchanges on improving LCA practices and promoting sustainability within the photovoltaic sector.
