- IMI, 2003-10-23
- DANTES project
2DANTES platforms
- DANTES info
- Detailed information about different tools
- Example of use of different tools/methods
- Presentation of strategies for sustainable
development - Integration platform
- Information about the relation between different
tools - Relation between a question/problem, and tools
used when solving the problem - Defines the scope and boundaries of different
tools
3Different important concepts
- Method and structure includes basic theoretical
breakdown. Task 7 - Prototype includes implementation of a part the
methods and structures. To build the web
platform. Task 5 - Release different versions of DANTESinfo are
released based on the contents and structure of
the prototype

5Functionality of the integration platform
- Can be used for integration of tools using
logical and work path structures - Demonstrate how a problem can be broken down into
a logical structure or sequence of comprehensible
tasks. - Demonstrates how the DANTES partners break down
problems into the described structures - Demonstrate different alternative ways of working
- Provides information on individual tools
- Demonstrate connection between env. aspect and
tool
Logical structure
Process structure
6Contents for the integration platform
- Logical structure of used tools/methods
- Process structure of used tools/methods
- Information which defines the tools
- Description
- Input
- Output
- Environmental aspects
7Logical structure
- Do often look very similar for different users.
- Break down a task into a number of conditions
that have to be fullfilled in order to complete
the task.
8Process structure
- The process structure describe the actual way of
working. - The ordering of the activities is important.
- The process structure differ between different
users/companies.

15Relevant information which defines the tools
- LCA
- Description Inventory the aspects from the
different phases of a products life cycle and
perform an assessment of the environmental
impacts - Input Data (input/output) from organisations and
sites - Output Aggregated environmental impact, Weighted
index of environmental impact, identified hot
spots at production site - Aspect Transporation, Energy use, Greenhouse gas
emissions, Consumption of raw materials etc. - LCC
- Description calculate the economic costs that
arise during the life cycle of a product or
service, i.e. from extraction of raw material,
production, investments, usage, maintenance and
end-of-life. - Input Estimated cost, lifetime cost and
performance, - Output Total lifetime cost
- Aspect Eco-efficiency of products/ production
sites
16- ERA
- Description An environmental risk assessment
(ERA) is a process of identifying and evaluating
the adverse effects on the environment caused by
a chemical substance. - Input Exposure data, exposure levels,
distribution data, dose/response data - Output Information about risk for substances
- Aspect Substances environmental impact,
especially impact on humans and animals.
17Environmental aspects
- List of identified environmental aspect
- To connect these aspects with usable tools,
identified earlier in DANTES - Show the relation question/problem, aspect and
tool in the Integration platform
18Results - List of identified relevant aspects
- Energy use
- Energy as losses during usage phase or as
decreased energy consumptions for the customers - Emission to water and air (e.g. CO2, NOx, SOx)
- Environmental impacts from the products and
services, impact from the products ecotoxicity
especially - Transportation
- Products and materials toxic properites (e.g.
brominated flame retardant in plastics) - Waste disposal and hazardous waste
- Raw material wood
19- Noise emissions
- Electromagnetic fields
- Greenhouse gas emissions and other air emissions
- Access to fresh water
- Use of fossil fuels
- Spill prevention
- Use of batteries for energy storage
- Glycol emission
- Oil leakage
- Land use

21Aspects, indicators and tools
- Example 1
- Aspect Transportation
- Indicator(s)
- Means of transport used e.g. truck, train, ship
?use of transports with high or low environmental
impact regarding fuel consumption, material used
etc. - Energy consumption by the transport ?Greenhouse
gas emission and air pollutant emissions - Emissions of carbon dioxide ? Global warming
contribution
22- Tools
- Transport LCI data from SPINE_at_CPM (inputs and
outputs) that can be used in an LCA tool e.g.
Ecolab, LCAlight, LCAiT etc - Transport calculation tools e.g. NTMCalc,
Emission calculation, Miljökalkyl, SAS Emission
calculation etc. - Interviews, Checklist, Legislation
23- Example 2
- Aspect Emission to water
- Indicator(s)
- Amount of emission to water from the production
site - Emitted substances toxic properties toxicity in
water - Environmental impact of the emitted substance
- Tool(s)
- LCA
- OMNIITOX
- ERA
- TOXNET, IRIS, ECETOX
- Legislation

Env. aspects
The context
Questions and requirements
Answer
- Information require a context
- The aspect gives the context and connects the
information with the user.
- The aspect tells us why and for what we need the
tools
