    Carbon Footprint in Canteen Kitchens - Calculation of Carbon Foodprints at a University
    (Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Manthey, Christian; Bergheim, Kirtan; Gerlach, Yardena; Grasshoff, Nico; Plischtil, Max
    The inducement for this paper was an ecological event week ("Climate Festival") at the Dresden University of Technology, Germany, in May 2010. The event was supposed to sensitize both students and employees to climate issues by showing how different aspects of everyday life have an impact on climate change. As one aspect, we calculated the Carbon Footprint for the varying meals in the canteen offered during that week and presented the results in various printed versions and hand-outs. This short paper introduces our motivation, approach and outcomes and also discusses some aspects for the further development.

    Comparing Data Management in LCI Databases
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 2: Open Data and Industrial Ecological Management, 2012) Severith, Marcel; Manthey, Christian
    Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a widely accepted method for analysing the environmental aspects of goods and services. Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) datasets document the various involved material and energy flows, forming the basis of every LCA study. Today, a plurality of databases providing LCI data exists. Data delivered by these databases has to be sound as well as suitable for the specific application. Therefore, LCA practitioners request highquality, regularly updated and verified data with maximum information content and maximum transparency of backgrounds and assumptions. These needs have to be satisfied by the database vendors with the help of adequate data management. Therefore, this paper derives aspects of data management in the LCI context, enabling the comparison of specific database systems. The developed framework is verified by applying it to compare the two databases ecoinvent and ProBas.

    Klimarisikomanagement mit dem CO2-Navigator
    (HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 47, No. 4, 2010) Günther, Edeltraud; Manthey, Christian; Weber, Gabriel; Nowack, Martin; Dannenberg, Henry; Ehrenfeld, Wilfried
    Die Software CO2-Navigator wendet den Realoptionsansatz und den Risikomanagementprozess auf den unternehmerischen Umgang mit dem Klimawandel an. Er richtet sich in erster Linie an emissionsintensive, kleine und mittlere Unternehmen, ist jedoch auch in gröβeren Unternehmen, die beispielsweise eine eigene »Sustainability«-Abteilung unterhalten, anwendbar. Der Wertbeitrag des Softwaretools besteht darin, dass es die Aspekte Klimastrategie, quantitative Bewertung von Klimaschutzinvestitionen sowie Emissionsrechtemanagement vereint. Es kann im Unternehmen in Bereichen strategisches Management, regulatorisches Management, Energie- und Umweltmanagement, Technologiemanagement sowie Controlling Anwendung finden. Der Beitrag dieses Artikels liegt in der Verknüpfung von Klimarisikomanagement und Realoptionsansatz sowie in der Darstellung des CO2-Navigators vor dem Hintergrund seiner Entwicklung im Sinne konstruktionsorientierter Forschung.

    The market for Corporate Environmental Management Information Systems (CEMIS) – Theory and Practice
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 2: Open Data and Industrial Ecological Management, 2012) Sangmeister, Jessica; Manthey, Christian
    Corporate Environmental Management Information Systems (CEMIS) have been on the market for more than two decades. They were created so that companies can easily comply with environmental requirements and reduce their impacts on the natural environment. Nowadays, a large variety of heterogeneous solutions for the specific environmental issues exist on the market. However, it is uncertain whether the scientific discussion and the available CEMIS on the market are able to meet the demand of the companies for these products. As for now it seems that even though there is a great offer, hardly any company use CEMIS on a regular basis. In order to understand the scientific background of CEMIS we give a brief insight into the scientific discussion in German speaking countries of the last years followed by an analysis of the available CEMIS on the market. Additionally, the paper will give an overview about background and outcomes of this approach, taking into account CEMIS listed in databases on a national and international level and giving an overview of what is the demand of the market, as far as possible. Moreover it will be discussed whether the scientific basis aligns with actual approaches from a practical point of view.
