持続可能な自動車社会に向けたモビリティの評価とLCA

抄録

This paper is a review on how LCA and its developing tool will be useful for sustainable mobility. Global motorization will give us the affluent society and convenient mobility. However, a large number of vehicles will cause global environmental problems, such as global warming, resources depletion, air pollution, and wastes. We need indicators for evaluating sustainable mobility in order to make a decision on which way to go in the future, especially in case of trade-off. The indicators will consist of three categories (environment, society, and economy) according to Mobility 2030 report and LCA which can evaluate environmental burdens and impacts will become a tool for the first step. We show an overview of automobile LCA case studies in the past and issues on LCI, LCIA and eco-efficiency (Factor X) towards sustainable mobility.
