Description
CO2M is a mission to measure and identify hotspots of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In order to assess, and if possible improve, the environmental impact, that designing, building and testing the satellites for CO2M has, a life cycle assessment is performed regularly throughout the development of the mission. This LCA covers two aspects:
1) The approach to data collection and the accuracy of the data by suppliers. Here in particular, the quality of the data, the timeline when information can be readily available and the impact it has for the data quality requirements is focussed on.
2) In early implementation phases, availability of information from suppliers is limited. Therefore, proxies and generic data available in databases are used. The approach and implementation of proxies, should be standardized to simplify early LCA iterations.
These aspects will be the focus of the presentation.
