“…Regionalised CF developed by IMPACT World+ (Bulle et al, 2019) can be used to categorise emissions and quantify regionalised impacts. These researches thus can offer an improved basis to support decision making, providing environmental profiles of alternative land-use planning in an explicate spatial setting (Reinhard et al 2017). Besides, these further refinement also confirms the meaning of the tEF.…”

“…In the case study, we used the latter strategy, i.e. adapting the amount of unit process use for a landuse inventory calculation, while keeping the unit process itself unchanged, which is a common practice in LCA studies (Reinhard et al 2017). To achieve this task, we analysed the existing LCI databases, i.e., (WFLDB, v3.1 for ecoinvent) (Mouron, Bengoa, Riedener, Rossi, & Lansche, 2017) and Agri-footprint (v4) (Durlinger et al, 2017), specifically for the agricultural sector based on two criteria: 1) Data availability.…”

“…soil type and climate) largely influence certain emissions amount (Nitschelm et al, 2016) and the level of environmental damages (Roeder & Osterburg, 2012). Sophisticated emission models and spatial data are needed to achieve a regionalised life cycle inventory (regionalised LCI) (Reinhard et al 2017). Regionalised CF developed by IMPACT World+ (Bulle et al, 2019) can be used to categorise emissions and quantify regionalised impacts.…”

The constantly growing body of global environmental legislation necessitates that corporate environmental compliance managers frequently assess the relevance of new regulations and regulation revisions for each of their sites. Companies are pressured to streamline and automate this crucial task through digital workflows and specialized IT-based assistance systems. This has recently piqued the interest of researchers working in different disciplines, such as intelligent systems, machine learning, and natural language processing. The article describes the latest results of our long-term research program on IT-based support for corporate compliance management, offering insights for these, and other disciplines. The context and the main aspects of environmental regulation announcements and the relevance assessment task are analyzed. An extensive conceptual data model is developed that serves as a foundation for tailoring a generic method to perform a relevance assessment that considers site-specific individual environmental compliance facts. The method uses heuristic data operations and various text processing techniques from the field of natural language understanding. In order to exemplify the method, two application scenarios are described in which the relevance of new waste management directives are assessed for a multi-site production company.

Addressing the Effect of Social Acceptance on the Distribution of Wind Energy Plants and the Transmission Grid in Germany

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Social acceptance is increasingly becoming a limiting factor in implementing the energy transition in Germany. From today’s perspective, the expansion of wind energy and future transmission grids is only somewhat a technical or economic challenge rather than a social one. Since political decisions on the energy system transformation are often derived from findings of energy system modeling, it seems necessary to increasingly integrate the effects of socio-ecological aspects, such as acceptance issues in energy models. In this paper, an approach is introduced to address effects of social acceptance in energy system models by comparing the influence of different distribution scenarios of wind energy in Germany on the expansion need for future transmission lines. The results show that a socio-ecologic distribution of onshore wind installations according to a balanced burden of the German society does not reduce the grid expansion need significantly compared to an economic siting. An actual reduction of planned transmission grids could just be achieved by a more decentral scenario, including decentral market design. The sensitivity of regionalization is an opportunity to consider local acceptance issues within energy system models and should move more into focus inside the procedure of the current grid development process in Germany.
