Project description
 

The main goal of PROSUITE is to develop a framework methodology, operational methods and tools for the sustainability assessment of current and future technologies over their life cycle applicable to different stages of maturity. The project will apply the methodology in cooperation with the stakeholders involved for four technology cases from biorefineries, nanotechnology, information technologies and carbon storage and sequestration.
