1 A questionnaire for calculating ecological footprint René Itten, Niels Jungbluth ESU-services Ltd., Uster, Switzerland E S U 49th LCA Discussion Symposium Zürich, 18. September 2012
2 Introduction Update of existing footprint calculator on More options and broader range of results Page 2
3 Ecological Footprint (1) CH: 2.8 planets GLO: 1.5 planets Target: 1 planet Source: Global Footprint Network Page Ø The 3 ecological footprint is continously increasing during the last decades
4 Ecological Footprint (2) Global hectares (gha)per person 1.8 global hectares per person = 1 planet (2006) Page Ø Switzerland 4 is on rank 27 in the ecological footprint ranking
5 Sets of questions (1) Based on catalogue of existing calculator Refined with additional key questions and further options leading to a broader range of results Option to enter specific values for the energy consumption (detailed version) Page 5
6 28 Questions covering the most important consumption sectors 6 Questions on nutrition 6 Questions on private mobility 13 Questions on housing and energy Set of questions (2) Page 6
7 Data base Jungbluth et al. (2012) Environmental impacts of private consumption and reduction potentials Global Footprint Network ( ecoinvent Centre (2010). ecoinvent data v2.2, Duebendorf, Switzerland, Swiss Centre for LCI LC-inventories (2012). Corrections, updates and extensions of ecoinvent data v2.2, ESU-services Ltd. Page 7
8 Indicator For communication: ecological footprint (Global Footprint Network) For calculation: Swiss ecological scarcity 2006 Using the Swiss average budget for conversion (Jungbluth et al. 2011) 20 Mio eco-points = 2.8 planets Page 8
9 Average of each consumption category scaled according to LCA data Consumption sectors are calculated top down (Input-Output-Analysis) Deviation from the average calculated based on LCA results Hybrid approach between Input- Output-Analysis (average) and LCA (deviation from average) Calculations air, IPCC GWP 100a air, ozone depletion, UNEP 2000 air, NMVOC air, acidification air, human health air, heavy metals water, eutrophication water, heavy metals water, radioactive water, toxic hydrocarbons water, endocrine disruptors soil, heavy metals soil, plant protection products resources, energy resources, land resources, mineral resources, water waste Light fuel oil Natural gas Solar collectors, MFH Solar collectors, SFH Heat pump, groundwater Heatpump, water Heatpump, air Wood Average Page 9 eco- points (UBP) per MJ of heat

11 ! Mobility consumption Swiss average (Mikrozensus, BFS/ARE 2007)! Share of travelled distance! Unit! pkm/person and year! %! Passenger plane" 2'456" 15.2%" Coach" 506" 3.1%" Train" 2'590" 16.0%" Passenger car" 9'582" 59.3%" Bus" 49" 0.3%" Tram" 718" 4.4%" Trolley bus" 0" 0.0%" Motorcycle / Scooter" 246" 1.5%" Total! 16'147" 100.0%" Page Ø Swiss 11 average based on Swiss mobility statistics
12 Deviation from average based on LCA results Environmental impact relative to Swiss average What kind of heating system are you using? 22.1 Electric heating" 310% 22.2 Light fuel oil heating 121% 22.3 Natural gas heating 87% 22.4 Wood pellets 91% 22.5 Wood chips 93% 22.6 Wood logs 112% 22.7 Solar collectors 62% 22.8 District heat 61% 22.9 Heat pump 91% Heat pump, certified electricity 34% Swiss average 100% Page Ø Average 12 result is scaled according to LCA results
13 Average Swiss footprint Public demand Nutrition Consumption Housing and energy Mobility Total Planets Swiss average Normal calculator Detailed calculator Target value World average Page Ø The 13 average Swiss footprint is 2.8 planets
14 Increase in travelled distance by plane Public demand Nutrition Consumption Housing and energy Mobility Total Planets Swiss average Normal calculator Detailed calculator Target value World average Page Ø Additional flight hours per year cause an increase of 0.4 planets
15 Maximum footprint Public demand Nutrition Consumption Housing and energy Mobility Total Planets Swiss average Normal calculator Detailed calculator Target value World average Page Ø It 15 is easy to increase the footprint (flying, dwelling area)
16 Minimum footprint (1) Public demand Nutrition Consumption Housing and energy Mobility Total Planets Swiss average Normal calculator Detailed calculator Target value World average Page Ø The 16 minimal footprint corresponds to about one planet
17 Minimum footprint (2) No motorised mobility consumption (passenger car, plane, train, bus, motorcycle) Vegan nutrition Less than 25 m 2 net dwelling area per person Less than 300 CHF per month for other consumption (furniture, cloths, gifts, restaurants, holidays, etc) Page 17
18 3.0 My footprint Public demand Nutrition Consumption Housing and energy Mobility Total Planets Swiss average Normal calculator Detailed calculator Target value Page Ø Feasible 18 to reduce the footprint below the Swiss average World average
19 Limitations of the calculator Public demand is not affected Uncertainty due to conversion of eco-points into planets Linear scaling of the impacts assumed Improvements in the production and supply chains are not modelled Page 19
20 Conclusions All consumption areas covered Easy to reduce the footprint below the Swiss average Huge potential to reduce the global footprint Some options to reduce the ecological footprint are not covered by the calculator (more efficient production, reuse and sharing, reduced public demand) An ecological footprint of one planet is an ambitious goal Page 20
