Knowing how to act consciously for the conservation of the environment: this is the aim of the EmCoin project (EMbodied energy as a COIN), developed
Methodology
How is the share of renewable energy incorporated into a product determined?
To date, Suasì considers some average percentage valuesindicated in the literature as specific to the product category to which the product belongs, as the share
How is the embodied energy of objects calculated?
Suasì adopts the Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) system for products. It is a metric used to quantify the total amount of energy required throughout the
Why use energy and not CO2?
CO2 is the parameter mostly used in environmental impact assessments, both in literature and in public policies. However, it remains something difficult for people to
Why is embodied energy a reliable indicator of environmental impact?
Environmental sustainability can only arise from a reduction in the consumption of limited physical resources (soil, air, water, energy,…). Every traded product/service has an environmental
Who grants the product impact values are correct?
Most of the Cumulated Energy Demand (CED) values reported by Suasì are currently derived from Agribalyse, a database developed in France by ADEME (The French Agency
