Tomas Ekvall
Tomas Ekvall develops and interprets methods for life cycle assessment and other aprpoaches for environmental and sustainability assessment with a broad systems perspective. Internationally, Tomas is mainly recognized for his work on methods for life cycle inventory analysis. However, with his extensive experience from commissioned research and three academic research groups, Tomas has a broad methodological understanding, including scenario analysis, optimizing models, life cycle sustainability analysis, material pinch analysis, etc. He is particularly interested what kind of knowledge different methods can generate. Important applications for his research exist in the energy and waste sectors - for example for evaluation of policy for waste management and resource efficiency. The methods are also important in the industry both before strategic decisions, in product development and for eco-labeling.
