5 Phase 3: Projection (step 3.1 & 3.2)» Future level definition (step 3.1), e.g.:» 1: Minimum extreme» 2: Trend extrapolation» 3: Maximum extreme» Consistency assessment (step 3.2)» 2: conditional» 1: supportive» 0: independent» -1: obstructive» -2: inconsistent Scenarios, modeling & assessment Scenario typology &
6 Phase 3: Projection (step 3.3)» Scenario construction (step 3.3)» Scenario as combination of different future levels of all impact factors used to describe and analyze a system» Calculation scenario indices of all possible scenarios (used for the selection)» Additive and/or multiplicative consistency» Number of inconsistencies» Local efficiency (neighborhood )» Pre-filter during scenario construction:» Number of tolerated inconsistency» Threshold value for additive and/or multiplicative consistency Significant reduction of original number of scenarios Scenarios, modeling & assessment Scenario typology &
7 Phase 4: Selection & interpretation (step 4.1)» Goal» Selection of a small (4-8) set of consistent, diverse and representative scenarios (cf. Tietje, 2005; Spoerri et al., 2009)» Two fundamentally different procedures» Data driven (bottom up, inductive) selection» Based on algorithms relying on calculated scenario indices» Local efficiency selection» Tietje selection» Distance-to-selected selection» Concept driven (top down, deductive) selection» Applied if the study team has conceptual ideas about the future of the investigated system ( representative scenarios) Scenarios, modeling & assessment Scenario typology &

12 FSA, modeling» Goal» Assessment of environmental/sustainability performance of developed future states of a system (prospective assessment)» Relevance» Decisions of today determine impacts over long time periods (e.g., urban infrastructures)» Example from thermal waste management:» Investment in thermal treatment facility determine environmental performance for several decades (±30 years)» Environmental performance of specific technology depends on various future developments, such as:» Future waste compositions» Energy price developments» Changes in legal standards» Efficiency of landfill mining (technology learning curve)
13 FSA & (e.g., emission models) Case Study Waste Scenarios for the European Union in 2050» Goal: Prospective analysis of future emissions from municipal solid waste incineration in the European Union» Scenario analysis» Development of scenarios to determine waste amounts of the European Union in 2050» Based on the analysis of impacts of EU Directives on future waste amounts Amounts of household, commercial & medical waste, sewage sludge going into: (i) Recycling, (ii) Incineration, (iii) Landfill» Linking scenarios to emission model» From waste amounts to material composition as inputs to WM model
14 FSA & Life Cycle Assessment ()» General procedure (principle):» Translate scenarios into future state specific Life Cycle Inventory (LCI)» Depending on constructed scenarios more or less concretization steps are required to link scenarios to LCI Scenario analysis Life Cycle Inventory Life Cycle Impact Assessment
15 FSA & Life Cycle Assessment () Examples:» Waste scenarios for the European Union in 2050» Elementary compositions could also be used for the environmental impact assessment of different thermal treatment or waste management options, e.g.:» Grate-incineration with additional metal recovery from residues» Waste gasification» Waste gasification combined with ash melting» Pre-treatment, sensor-based separation techniques» Prospective of transport systems in 2020» Spielmann, M., Scholz, R.W., Tietje, O. & de Haan, P.
