2 Content: MFA methodology and cases studies 1. Vision and Motivation 2. What is material flow analysis (MFA)? 3. Purpose of MFA (in particular for industry) 4. Examples and case studies of industrial applications 5. Conclusions P.H. Brunner 2/35

3 1. Vision and Motivation Sustainable development SD: - long term environmental protection - best resource use How to measure and achieve SD? MFA = key method in the tool box for SD! The two aspects: goods and substances - goods as economic units (quantity) - substances determining ecological and resource qualities P.H. Brunner 3/35

Brunner 17/35

18 Case study: MFA of regional lead flows and stocks? car manufacturer landfill landfill ~ car shredder 270 flue gas ~0 iron product ~3 iron smelter 270 filter dust P.H. Brunner 18/35

19 Why MFA for industry? In the long term, MFA will be successful only if it is applied in business and industry 1. Direct economic benefit 2. Comparative advantage in a competitive market 3. Leadership 4. Regulations 5. Improve knowledge base No incentive: MFA studies per se without economic or problem solving purpose P.H. Brunner 19/35

20 1. Economic benefits: MFA and greenhouse gas emission assessment CO 2 biomass fossil -> -> P.H. Brunner 20/35

21 Concept of MFA based balance method Material data of waste input Biogenic matter C, H, O, N, S, Cl Fossil matter C, H, O, N, S, Cl Balance equations m B + m F + m I + m w = 1 kg CO O2 foss / t waste plant Revision of c B m B + c F m F m I = a waste = c waste 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec HV B m B + HV F m F m W = HV waste O C 2,B m B + O C 2,F m F C = O 2 d O2-CO2 m B + d O2-CO2 m F waste = d O2-CO2,waste Operating data from WTE plant Waste input, flue gas volume, CO2, O2, steam production Ratio of energy from bioge enic sources [% %] 100% 90% Line 1 80% Line 2 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% P.H. Brunner 21/35

22 Results (annual values) sources of CO 2 - emissions sources of energy CO 2 - Emi issions [kilo tons s/year] ,7 ± 3,1 47.1% 81,9 ± 3,9 52.9% fossil fuels (plastics) 52.7±2.0% auxiliary fuels (fuel oil, natural gas) 0,8% biomass (paper,..) 46.5±2.0% fossil biogenici P.H. Brunner 22/35

23 2. Comparative advantage in a competitive market (V.EFB) P.H. Brunner 23/35

24 3. Leadership: cooperation of the steel mill atmos- phere import 340 stock ~ export 280 surface water 0.6 consumer goods household 7 used cars > forest soil agricult. soil urban soil regional boundary river 0.14 STP 0.9 sewer landfill ~ industry [t/y] surface water 2 filter dust >270 municipal solid waste 5.6 P.H. Brunner 24/35

25 4. Regulations: MFA to cut costs from railway maintenance P.H. Brunner 25/35

26 The problem: high costs for landfilling spent gravel from RR Cu-c content [mg/kg] Quality criteria: landfill ordinance recycling geogenic Cu time [t] P.H. Brunner 26/35

27 The method: MFA of Cu in track ballast P.H. Brunner 27/35

28 Result: brake system and contact line as main anthropogenic sources 1.8 kg/y +1.9 kg/y P.H. Brunner 28/35

29 Solution: new material for brake pads, contact line (?), and low Cu gravel Cu-c content [mg/kg] Quality criteria: landfill ordinance recycling geogenic Cu time [t] P.H. Brunner 29/35

30 Solution: new material for brake pads, contact line (?), and low Cu gravel Cu-c content [mg/kg] Quality criteria: landfill ordinance recycling geogenic Cu time [t] P.H. Brunner 30/35

31 5. Improve knowledge base: case of lead recycling lead stocks in networks and buildings of Vienna pipes 0 water- and wastewater systems L: 10,000-20, old pipes in-house cables 0 in-house energy- and information grid n.d. L: n.b. old cables out-of-house cables out-of-house energy- and information grid old cables L: 90,000 other networks lead flows in Mg/a lead stocks in Mg n.b. not determined Soruce: Möslinger, J., 1998 nb n.b. other networks L: n.b. System Boundary Vienna old other networks n.b. P.H. Brunner 31/35

32 5. Improve knowledge base Issue: Struggle between private and public waste management: Who should collect wastes from industry, business and trade? Questions: Where are additional potentials for waste collection and treatment? What is the best solution: private or public? Procedure: re 1. Assessment of waste amounts, 2. MFA of various scenarios, and 3. evaluation of scenarios Solution: 1. Insufficient information to answer the question (->scenarios) 2. Separate collection and treatment has advantages, no matter if public or private 3. Amount in question relatively small (~ 20%) when compared to rest P.H. Brunner 32/35

33 5. Improve knowledge base: case of waste management Laner et al., 2009 P.H. Brunner 33/35

34 Conclusions Industry will apply MFA if: MFA is known to industry MFA is instrumental to solve relevant industrial problems MFA is economic (benefit > cost) MFA is mandated by law Strategy to promote MFA in industry: Identify key industries i and apply MFA for problem solving Make economically successful MFA results known to industry Educate engineers and practitioners in MFA methodology Standardize MFA as an instrument for RM, WM and EM Incorporate MFA into selected legislation (EIA, SEIA) Incorporate MFA in national planning (RM, WM, EM) -> framework for industrial activities P.H. Brunner 34/35

35 Thank you P.H. Brunner 35/35
