Where to find Government LCA reports?

01/05/2022 1:10 PM

Hello,

I am currently undertaking a engineering project for my BENG Mechanical Engineering degree investigating government use of Life cycle analysis reports for domestic heat pumps.

I am having trouble locating example LCA data produced and used by the UK government to support carbon emission targets.

Does anyone have suggestions as to where I might find this kind of data or useful LCA case studies?

There is a phone number at the foot of this report:

https://www.parliament.uk/globalassets/documents/post/postpn268.pdf

It would seem to be a good place to start asking questions, perhaps.

After calling the number at the bottom of the paper provided by PWSlack, I was given an email address to be used for enquires of this sort. I am currently waiting to hear back from them and will update when I do.
