8th Product Carbon Footprint World Summit, 26-27 September 2012, Berlin
Renewable Resources in the Value Chain: A Viable Option for Reducing Environmental Footprints?
About the PCF World Forum Consumption of goods and services contributes to a large share of worldwide GHG emissions and other environmental challenges. Solutions are needed to help companies manage and communicate the climate and environmental impact of their products. They are also n eeded to provide consumers with the necessary information to make climate-conscious consumption decisions. To navigate these challenges and provide orientation in the often complex world of carbon and e nvironmental footprinting the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) World Forum was established. It is a neutral platform for companies and other stakeholders to share and reflect on challenges, practical experiences, initiatives, tools and insights towards climate-conscious consumption and production.
The PCF World Forum was created out of the ambition to talk with each other and not just about each other. There are an increasing number of initiatives in the world, but the real understanding of respective approaches and activities is often limited. Over the past years, representatives from a range of organisations and initiatives have come together at the PCF World Summits, PCF World Forum Update Workshops and dedicated Dialogue Forums Low Carbon Society to give insights into their own work, discuss and interpret current developments and explore possible common pathways. The PCF World Summits have stimulated several working groups such as the Task Force on international harmonisation of Product Category Rules (PCR) and direct collaboration between participants. www.pcf-world-forum.org

Introduction | 8th PCF World Summit | 26-27 September 2012 | Berlin
Renewable Resources in the Value Chain: A Viable Option for Reducing Environmental Footprints? ▶ Carbon and environmental footprinting: How are standards, initiatives and their implementation progressing? ▶ What does carbon footprint reality look like? Is carbon footprinting driving real change or just binding valuable resources? ▶ Is renewable resource use (e.g. bioplastics) in products a viable option for reducing carbon and environmental footprints? ▶ How is their use reflected in carbon and environmental footprint standards? ▶ How are initiatives working to ensure an ecologically balanced use of renewable resources? The 8th PCF World Summit will feature updates, business viewpoints and dialogue around these and related questions. The stage is set by updates on international and selected national carbon and environmental footprints standards and initiatives, such as ISO 14067 “Carbon Footprint of Products”, the French Environmental Product Declaration Scheme and the Product Carbon Footprint Project in Québec. In a special session “Reflections on EU environmental footprinting methodology and policy” an update on current status in methodology and policy developments is given and discussed. In dedicated parallel tracks specific topics are discussed based on input presentations by participants: ▶ Evidence and insights on renewable resource use in products based on carbon and environmental footprinting business case studies will be presented and discussed
3 www.pcf-world-forum.org
▶ Alternative/complementary approaches to assessing sustainability in value chains, particularly the use of extended Input-Output Models (E-IO) and economic valuation techniques ▶ Also a carbon footprint track for participants who are new to carbon footprinting (carbon footprinting for "beginners") will be offered: Basic introduction to methods, initiatives, topics of discussion and frequently asked questions. Stakeholder viewpoints, initiatives and certification schemes on renewable resource use in products will provide an understanding of current developments and critical issues in renewable resource use. More than five years into the development of carbon footprinting methodologies and tools, the current situation of carbon footprinting is assessed: ▶ Business viewpoints on carbon footprint reality will provide an understanding of how carbon footprinting implementation is taking place in reality and what role it actually plays ▶ In a plenary discussion we are asking the questions: "Quo vadis c arbon footprinting – Too much talking or real change?" The Summit programme provides networking opportunities, including the Low Carbon Network Dinner in the evening of Day 1 (premium registration required).

09:30 Carbon and environmental footprinting standards and initiatives ▶▶The long road to ISO 14067 "Carbon Footprint of Products" and implications for renewable resources Matthias Finkbeiner ISO-Committee TC207/SC5 for Life Cycle Assessment and International Life Cycle Board (ILCB) of the UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative, Germany
The current status of ISO 14067 "Carbon Footprint of Products" is presented including background on the concerns from several developing countries which led to further delays in the standardization process. Focus will be placed on implications with regard to renewable resources, because there are several methodological challenges when it comes to a proper and consistent treatment of this issue. Examples are the treatment of biogenic carbon flows and associated credits, the treatment of recycled biogenic materials and the discussion on direct and indirect land use change. About Matthias Finkbeiner Prof. Dr. Matthias Finkbeiner is currently Chair of Sustainable Engineering and Vice-Director of the Department of Environmental Technology at Technical University Berlin.

▶▶Quebec’s Product Carbon Footprint Pilot Project: Reproducibility, comparability and auditability of product carbon footprints Peter Edwards Ministry for Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade, Québec
Despite recent developments regarding methodological harmonisation, challenges remain to provide enough specificity to enable consistent comparability of product carbon footprint calculations through the development of product category rules (PCRs). Moreover, source data auditing of scope 3 greenhouse assertions is a relatively new discipline and lacks specific guidance. To address these and other challenges, the government of Québec is conducting a pilot project as the first step in the implementation of a $24M voluntary product carbon footprint labelling initiative. The pilot will test different protocols and category rules to assess result reproducibility and variability. The effect on results of the importance of hydroelectricity in Québec’s energy mix, source data auditing mechanisms for scope 3 emissions and international harmonization efforts in PCF are elements of particular interest. In an effort to lay solid foundations to the initiative, Québec has partnered with the Interuniversity Research Centre for the Life Cycle of Products, Processes and Services (CIRAIG) and will benefit from the greenhouse gas verification expertise of the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ). About Peter Edwards Peter Edwards is an industrial development advisor at the Québec Ministry for Economic development, Innovation and Export trade where he is mainly responsible of the Québec product carbon footprint pilot project. He received a degree in finance from Laval University after which he spent five years working for a large Canadian financial institution.

11:00 Coffee break 11:30 Reflections on EU environmental footprinting methodology and policy ▶▶EU environmental footprinting strategy: Next steps in methodology and policy development Pavel Misiga
Michele Galatola
DG Environment/ European Commission, Belgium
DG Environment/ European Commission, Belgium
In its conclusions on the Sustainable Consumption and Production Action Plan, the Council invited the Commission “to take into account Member States’ experience, to start working as soon as possible on common voluntary methodologies facilitating the future establishment of carbon audits for organisations and the calculation of the carbon footprint of products and organisations”. The European Commission concluded that it is important to take into consideration all environmental impacts of products and organisations in a balanced way. After further demands for harmonised methodologies through the “Single Market Act”, the European Council Conclusions on “Sustainable materials management and sustainable production and consumption” and the Resource Efficiency Roadmap, DG Environment is now working together with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC IES) and other European Commission services towards the development of - a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the environmental footprint of products - and a technical guide for the calculation of the environmental footprint of organisations. Pavel Misiga will explain status and considerations of methodology and future policy development.

▶▶Carbon footprint of direct and indirect land-use change: A review of knowledge, relevance and practice Uwe Fritsche International Institute for Sustainability Analysis and Strategy, Germany
Land-use change is seen as a major contributor to worldwide GHG emissions and product carbon footprints. However, it is not fully and routinely integrated in commonly used GHG accounting frameworks. Lack of scientific understanding and clear models is often given as a reason. In his presentation, Uwe Fritsche provides a review of current knowledge on GHG emissions from land-use change, their relevance for GHG accounting and considerations on their current and future integration in common GHG accounting frameworks. About Uwe Fritsche Uwe studied applied physics at the Technical University Darmstadt, and worked since 1984 as a scientist at OekoInstitut where he headed the Energy & Climate Division in Darmstadt until 2010. After that, he focused on international activities and projects concerning sustainable biomass. In 2012, he co-founded IINAS and works there as Scientific Director.

Besides his scientific work, he is a Reiki master, practices QiGong and likes Nordic Skating, as well as riding trains.
▶▶Use of renewable raw materials in the chemical industry Henk Bosch Material science and life science company DSM, The Netherlands
DSM has a very good track record in the production of chemicals based on fossil fuels, of yeasts, enzymes and antibiotics from sugars by biotechnology and places a focus on “Eco+ products” with the lowest footprint over the life cycle. With this background it seems logical that the company seriously engages in the development of new ways to produce chemicals and plastics from renewable raw materials to achieve lower carbon footprints compared to fossil based alternatives. This led to the market introduction of one biobased chemical (succinic acid) and two biobased plastics (a polyamide and a polyester) already. The lower carbon footprint is based on the fact that the carbon in the material is short cycle and therefore the release of stored carbon does not affect global warming. As this is not the full picture, we need a life cycle assessment to clarify whether the overall footprint actually is lower. There are real issues to be solved, particularly with regard to energy intensities, waste volumes, land-use change, economies of scale, access to suitable raw materials and “new” environmental issues such as biodiversity and water scarcity. In a few examples the implications will be shown, and how DSM is dealing with these in order to create brighter lives for people today and for generations to come.

▶▶Bioplastics, one of the building blocks for a more sustainable and a more biobased economy Erwin Vink NatureWorks and European Bioplastics Association, The Netherlands
During the last few decades the society is slowly starting to realize that it needs to put more effort in sustainable development from an economic (the continuing increasing demand for energy, food and materials), social (boosting economic growth and employment) and environmental (protection) point of view. Major needs are actions against global climate change and to become less dependent on fossil resources. Therefore national and international authorities recognize that we need to move to a more biobased economy, a process which is enabled by the fast technological innovations in Industrial Biotechnology. Bioplastics are seen as one of the new building blocks in this new economy. European Bioplastics represents the European bioplastics industry; NatureWorks is one of the pioneers, producing a family of polylactide biopolymers. This presentation reviews the achievements and challenges. About Erwin Vink Since 1984 Erwin Vink has worked in various functions for The Dow Chemical Company. Since the beginning of the nineties he has been a member of the Dow Europe LCA Core Group working on internal and external LCA projects.

11:00 Coffee break 11:30 Viewpoints, initiatives and certification schemes on renewable resource use (cont'd) ▶▶International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) beyond biofuels: Upcoming standards for food, feed, and biomaterials Stefanie Stukenborg SGS, Germany
The Renewable Energy Directive (DIRECTIVE 2009/28/EC) was established to promote the use of energy from renewable sources. The sustainable production of renewable energy has to be proven for example by ISCC DE or ISCC EU. ISCC transferred the requirements for sustainable production of biomass to the food and feed production as well as to technical/chemical and bioenergy applications which had not been considered yet. This new system is called ISCC PLUS. The comparability and compatibility of the ISCC systems as well as the application to all kind of biomasses contribute to transparency and avoids multiple certifications. About Stefanie Stukenborg Dr. Stefanie Stukenborg is project manager sustainability at SGS Germany with a focus on the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification System (ISCC) and REDcert. Before she worked as a research assistant at the institute of animal breeding and husbandry of Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel, researching salmonella in pork. She holds a degree in agricultural science.
▶▶Resource use in meat production – is it possible to put a climate label on red meat? Anna Richert Climate Certification for Food, Sweden
Red meat is the part of our diets causing the largest climate impact. It is difficult to lower the emissions of methane from ruminants, and there is a growing consumer and environmental organization movement towards “meat-free Mondays” in order to lower the consumption of red meat. An initiative has been launched in Sweden since 2010 in order to establish a climate certification for food. In 2012, the first red meat was certified. This guarantees that climate impact has been lowered in the meat production. The climate certification focusses on efficient use of energy and nitrogen in the production, no soy and mainly locally produced grass as fodder, as well as healthy animals. This guarantees to consumers that improvements have been made, however small. Scientific analysis of the certification system estimates that the improvements range between 5 and 10 % of climate impact from a general cattle production.
