    Environmental impact assessment of electricity production by photovoltaic system using GEOSS recommendations on interoperability
    (Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Menard, Lionel; Gschwind, Benoît; Blanc, Isabelle; Beloin-Saint-Pierre, Didier; Wald, Lucien; Blanc, Philippe; Ranchin, Thierry; Hischier, Roland; Gianfranceschi, Simone; Smolders, Steven; Gilles, Marc; Grassin, Cyril
    Within the Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP-3) of GEOSS, we have developed a scenario called “environmental impact assessment of the production, transportation and use of energy for the photovoltaic (PV) sector through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)”. It aims at providing decision-makers and policy-planners with reliable and geo-localized knowledge of several impacts induced by various technologies of the PV sector. The scenario is implemented in the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) and benefits from the GEOSS interoperability arrangements. The FP7-co-funded EnerGEO project provides a GEOSS compliant Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) that permits to discover the Web Processing Service (WPS) allowing computation of the environmental impact. A WebGIS client provided by the FP7-co-funded GENESIS platform allows users to interact with geospatial data and computation processes. This scenario has proven to be an efficient tool to disseminate knowledge on environmental impacts related to PV because of the GEOSS capabilities in interoperability.

    Environmental impact of electronic and print media: television, Internet newspaper and printed daily newspaper
    (Sustainability in the Information Society, 2001) Reichert, Inge; Hischier, Roland
    Over the last two years EMPA St. Gallen carried out two case studies on the environmental impact of electronic and print media. One of these LCA case studies is the comparison of television, internet newspaper, and printed daily newspaper. Media were compared with each other under the aspect of providing the daily news to the consumer. Aim of this study was an in-depth examination of the environmental impact of the three media. This was achieved in particular by a careful specification of the reference unit and by testing the stability of the results using sensitivity analysis.
