1 Certified carbon neutral sausage receipt 1 kg of carbon neutral beef 10 g salt produced with solarenergy 10 g red pepper from green pepperfields Smash it with a certified wooden tool All production and transport only with EMAS certified partners Total emission calculation and offsetting by TCN100-accredited 1

2 Carbon Dioxide Emissions Project EU Targets Our Data Results Development Additional remarks 2

3 EU What does the EU want? Climate protection: Reducing GHG-Emissions 20 % (30 %) until % until 2050 To reach this the EU works on or discuss: Development of the Emission Trading System (ETS) Including other substances in the ETS CCS development (carbon capture storage techniques) Measures outside of the ETS 3

4 Discussed Measures outside of the ETS Aim: Planned reduction: : - 10 % Additional planned measures (under discussion): Product labelling as a guide for lifestyle-decisions CO 2 -Tax Influencing the promotion of products 4

5 Data Data from 19 printing plants (black box) 11 gravure plants 8 heatset plants paper consumption per year gravure: 46,000 t up to 150,000 t (mean: 81,000 t) heatset: 30,000 t up to 125,000 t (mean: 62,000 t) 5

6 Data Complete data from 19 plants electricity Natural gas / oil Energy from district heating paperweight Ink consumption some data Additional additives or solvents (like IPA) copies per print run (average) 6

7 CO 2 -Emissions results CO 2 -Emissions in kg/t of used paper range from Mean 280 CO 2 -Emissions in g/m 2 of used paper surface range 6 14 Mean 8,5 7

8 Development We should work together with partner associations like bvdm, FAEP, CEPI, intergraf and so on to develop a complete, stable model We should develop, modify and finish our (product-) model, easy to use and exact enough for our needs, the needs of our customers and the needs of the carbon-footprint-activities from the EU. Therefore the finished model must include emissions from: Forestry, pulp and paper production, relevant production of other rawmaterials, printing. For all steps relevant emissions related to transport, distribution and recycling or waste has to be added. Model 1, 2 8

9 Model 1 Modifying of the existing questionnaire: data collection incl. all energies, relevant raw materials, transport (supplier, distribution, internal) Yearly calculation of total carbon dioxide emissions and other relevant parameters as a mean value Hints and Tips for a better environmental performance Project should be finished in january

10 Model 2 Development of a job based model together with bvdm Programming of the web interface calculation of the total carbon dioxide emissions of a planned print job Hints and Tips for more energy efficiency carbon offsetting tool Beta version should be finished in january

11 Additional Remarks if you like to get more information about this environmentally friendly printing technology, please contact the ERA. Members can visit the next Environment, Health and Safety Commission Meeting, held in Munich October as a joint meeting with the paper commission. 11
