Mitchell van der Hulst

Radboud University, Department of Environmental Science

Mitchell van der Hulst is researching ways to quantify the environmental impact of novel technologies. Using life cycle assessment as a methode, he tries to predict future impacts of technologies under development by supplementing the sparsely available knowledge of the novel technology using a systematic model of assumptions and extrapolations. The impact predictions serve as an insight for decision making during technological development to steer towards a final product or service with a lowest possible environmental impact.
