What to include in your presentation• 15 minutes = about 8 slides

– Intro• Technology description/ picture + study goal• Functional unit• Brief review of previous LCAs

– Scope• Life cycle processes (flow diagram)• Data sources• Omissions/ cutoff

– Impact results (h vectors)• Contribution analysis (identification of “significant issues”)

– March 13 presentations: Evaluation of importance of completeness, consistency, and quality of the data

– Conclusions• Can you really hope to say something is better or worse? • Can you really make recommendations for improving the system(s)?• What data are missing or need to be improved?

Optional: Sensitivity for 1-3 parameters (what if the energy efficiency of your core process were improved? A valid conclusion is that it makes no difference, and other actions should be sought for improvement.)
