2 25 years in the market 40% of the Fortune 500 rely on PE 2,500+ Global Customers 2
3 Products and Services Overview GaBi Content 3
4 1. Challenges 2. Feed & Food Database 3. Agricultural modelling
5 General Challenge: The Footprint of Food Big ten food companies emit more greenhouse gases than Scandinavia Oxfam Oxfam 2014, 5
6 Specific Challenge: Environmental Data
7 Specific Challenge: Multi Sector Involvement Field Agriculture & Food Transport & Logistics Construction & Building Oil & Gas Metals & Mining Energy & Utilities Apparel Retail User Electronics & High-tech Chemical Consumer goods Manufacturing Packaging Finance Automotive Tourism Aerospace Media Government 7
8 Specific Challenge: Several Frameworks ISO 14040/44 (LCA), ISO 14020, ISO 14021, ISO (Ecolabels/EPDs) EN (building EPDs) GHG protocol, PAS 2050 (Greenhouse gases), ISO ISO 14001, EMAS II, EMAS III, Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) ILCD network, SETAC/UNEP Global Guidance on databases Envifood protocol PCRs Etc. 8
9 1. Challenges 2. Feed & Food Database 3. Agricultural modelling
10 Addressing the challenges GaBi extension database: Food & Feed 350 datasets Cradle-to-gate and gate-to-gate LCIs Wide variety of products covered Available November 2014 Ongoing data development Yearly updates 10
11 Applicable across all sectors Across all LC stages and impacts 3 Layer Approach Consistent foreground and background data Professional LCA application Scientifically sound and quality assured models
12 Professional LCA application All major standards covered Practitioner Improvement Demand Feedback ISO 14040/44 The method ELCD USLCI EU PEF Scientific publications Standards GaBi Other methods Database 12
13 Applicable across all sectors Across all LC stages and impacts 3 Layer Approach Consistent foreground and background data Professional LCA application Scientifically sound and quality assured models
14 Quality Assurance established verification company audit of quality assurance processes reviews of key data systems implemented in improvement process full transparency on work flows, methods and data documentation checks 14
15 1. Challenges 2. Feed & Food Database 3. Agricultural modelling
16 Scientifically sound Generic, parametrized agrarian plant LCA model Regionalization Nitrogen cycle Land use change Land Use Irrigation Reference system Agricultural chemicals Phosphorus cycle CO 2 uptake and storage Allocations 16
17 Scientifically sound Generic, parametrized cattle model Regionalization Production phases Different livestock breeding systems & emission factors Different manure management systems Parameters (herd size, productivity, exchange rate, death rate etc.) Several products possible Allocations
18 OUTPUTS INPUTS Modeling rules Example: Biogenic carbon Carbon dioxide [renewable resource] In case of allocation (other than mass) an adjustment is applied to reflect the carbon stored in the product Carbon in product Cultivation Processing Processing Product Carbon dioxide (biotic) [Inorganic emissions to air] Carbon dioxide (biotic) [Inorganic emissions to air] Methane (biotic) [organic emissions to air (group VOC)] 18
19 Extension database XX: Food & Feed EU Production mixes rapeseed 19
20 Extension database XX: Food & Feed Consistent with other GaBi datasets and databases Adapting ongoing addition of new datasets Yearly updates Available now 350 datasets - includes fruits, vegetables, crops, animal products, dairy etc. Deep agricultural expertise - based on long standing sector expertise which delivers robust LCA results. Includes direct land use change information Application for PEF 20
