LCA & Ökobilanzierung

hera_id_Nachhaltigkeitsprofil – Product and System Development for Thermal Rehabilitation of Old Buildings

Projekt - HeraID

Project goal

The goal of the project is to develop a sustainability profile of the Heraklith BM - Panel by means of an indicator and criteria list. The latter are applied to assess the insulation panel. A technical and scientific goal is also the definition of the indicator „Regional efficiency“, which has not been considered hitherto in standard eco-balances and which shall depict the environmental impacts and the product relevance in the regional context as background.

 

SERECARB - LCA on Recovery of Calcium Carbonate in paper making effluents

Project goals

  • Assessing the technical feasibility of a new low temperature process for selective recovery of calcium carbonate in deinking sludge or primary sludge of paper mills using this filler – The aimed end-product is high value-added precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC)
  • Assessing process conditions controlling the end-product quality – The PCC can either be used on site or sold.
  • Assessing the economical interest and environmental benefit by Life Cycle Analysis, technico-economic and market surveys

 

LCA - Ökobilanz

LCA Bau.jpg

Unter einer Ökobilanz (engl. Life Cycle Analysis; LCA) versteht man die systematische Analyse der Umweltwirkungen von Produkten und Dienstleistungen über den gesamten Lebensweg. Es werden sämtliche umweltrelevanten Entnahmen aus der Umwelt (Rohöl, Mineralien, Metalle,...) und Emissionen in die Umwelt (Treibhausgase, Schwermetalle, Feinstaub,...) erfasst und bewertet, welche bei Herstellung, Transport, Nutzung und Entsorgung des Produktes anfallen.

Ein Ökobilanz kann dabei helfen...
