  1. NON-FOOD OPTIONS at FARM LEVELGreenhouse Gas Accounting for Non-Food Options(A web-based approach of LCA modelling) Hannes Peter Schwaiger JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft mbH 23rd April 2008

  2. Overview Some examples / results Web based tool Defined fuel chains Methodology: LCA, GHG emissions WP Objectives

  3. To identify 3 bio-chains for which LCA models are created (e.g. pellets, biodiesel, wood chips form SR systems) Produce a computer model for the selected chains Conversion of the model into a web-based file (asp files) Post the model on the internet as an user friendly interface WP 32 Objectives

  4. According to ISO 14 040 „Life Cycle Assessment“ Standard Methodology of IEA Bioenergy Task 38„Greenhouse Gas Balances of Biomass and Bioenergy systems“ Recommendations of COST Action E9 „LCA of Forestry and Forest Products“ LCA-Methodology

  5. Global Warming Potential, Functional Unit • Greenhouse effect: GHGs in CO2-equivalents (CO2, CH4, N2O, CF4) Equivalent factors: CO2 1 CH4 23 N2O 296 • All results refer to the functional unit of: g CO2 equivalents / km

  6. Biodiesel and Fossil Diesel chains

  7. Definition of fuel chains in ENFA: Biodiesel

  8. Definition of fuel chains in ENFA: Bioethanol

  9. Definition of fuel chains in ENFA: Biomass

  10. Biodiesel Austria: 23 chains Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) 4 chains Germany (Schwäbisch-Alb) 4 chains Bioethanol Austria: 21 chains Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) 9 chains Germany (Schwäbisch-Alb) 3 chains Germany (Brandenburg) 3 chains Germany (Bayern) 3 chains Fischer Tropsch Diesel (solid Biomass) Germany (Baden-Württemberg) 4 chains Defined fuel chains in ENFA

  11. All results are calculated using GEMIS and transferred to a database (MySQL) located on a server here at JR Database (MySQL) can be updated via web-interface The “Model” shows the results of GEMIS runs, the user defines the chains via drop-down lists in a “top down approach” Updating and extension with other datasets, fuels etc.is possible Possibility of changing input parameters in the “Model” to bring own data, but only for: Data which influence the results linearly and allow an easy recalculation ENFA – web-based approach
