Determination of resourses (minerals and fossil fuels) caracterization factors to build an italian Life Cycle Method. application of caracterization’s factor to a resource
Object of study is the environmental analysis of VF1 sink of oil extraction
in Trecate (MI).
Study has been executed in collaboration with ENEA (National Research Institute
for Energy and Environment) and University of Parma and ENI company.
The methodology is the LIFE CYCLE ASSESTMENT(LCA) and the software for analysis
of environmental impact is SIMAPRO 5.0.
The damage evaluation is obtained by ECO INDICATOR 99, EPS 2000, EDIP 96 and
EDIP 96 resources only methods.
Moreover it has been carried out a search on production, consumption and
reservoirs of the resources oil, coal and natural gas in the world, Europe and
Italy in order to define a damage evaluation usable only for the industrialized
countries.
The work ends by a comparison between the real process of extraction and the one
of Eco- Invent data base. Final results of analysis are that the highest damage
is the one caused by oil ENI process in particular owing to the exhaustion of
the resources.
