随着世界更深入地解决社会的巨大挑战，例如可持续性和森林生物材料的未来，重要的是要看一下这些解决方案的经济影响。通过生命周期分析来分析产品或过程的每个阶段的真实成本，可以更轻松地确定新技术的实际价值和影响。可持续的技术经济学和环境生命周期创新从始至终为研究人员提供了更广阔的视野和更完整的项目视图。我们的教师热衷于评估行业惯例和标准的价值和影响。从检查纸浆和造纸厂的过程模拟到研究将地理信息系统（GIS）与LCA建模集成的新方法，它们的专业知识正在影响该行业快速变化的未来。
As the world delves deeper into solving the grand challenges of society, like the future of sustainability and forest biomaterials, it's important to look at the economic impact of those solutions. By analyzing true costs at each stage of the product or process through life cycle analysis, it's easier to determine the actual value and impact of new technologies. Sustainable techno-economics and environmental life cycle innovation give researchers a broader perspective and a more complete view of the project, from start to finish. Our faculty are keen to assess the value and impact of industry practices and standards. From examining process simulations of pulp and paper mills to investigating new ways to integrate geographic information systems (GIS) with LCA modeling, their expertise is impacting the industry's rapidly changing future.
