Project tasks and objectives:
The MENTOR research initiative will provide a comprehensive and versatile technical platform for the development of next-generation indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) that efficiently re-use energy from artificial illumination to power electronics, eventually contributing to an energy- and climate-neutral future.
The scientific objectives include: 1) To draw up life cycle data inventories for materials, rchitectures, and configurations of IPVs; 2) To define a prospective LCA modelling approach; 3) Life cycle impact assessment of IPV devices; 4) Critical raw materials analysis.
