MEASURE Objectives Recommend best-suited LCSA evaluation tools Improve the consideration of sustainability assessment results in SPIRE projects by: -Enhancing the comparability between the outcomes of the projects -Supporting and facilitating the design of sustainable technologies within the SPIRE PPP program Provide a roadmap towards standardised sustainability assessment tools and methods in European process industries over the whole value chain. 3

Guidelines for assessment of SPIRE innovation projects 10 Recommendation: Use a minimum set of broadly accepted indicators Recommended metricsSPIRE sustainability goal by 2030 Cumulative energy demand (MJ) according to VDI 4600 guideline expressed in: - Non-renewable energy demand - Renewable energy demand A reduction in fossil energy intensity up to 30% from current levels Total material consumption (kg) grouped in: - Critical/non-critical - Fossil/non-fossil A reduction of up to 20% in non-reneable, primary raw material intensity compared to current levels Global warming potential calculated via infrared radiative forcing (100 years) (kg CO 2 - eq) based on IPCC data, 2013 Efficiency improvement of CO 2 – equivalent footprints of up to 40% compared to current levels Metrics for RE evaluation

Cooperation with other SPIRE Projects MEASURE focuses on (recommendations for) cross-sectorial life cycle sustainability assessments along the value chain. Target audience is mainly expert LCA practitioners STYLE aiming for a ‘toolkit’ for sustainability evaluation spanning multiple sectors that is easily usable by non-practitioners of sustainability assessments SAMT promotes cross-sectorial learning and uptake of the most promising tools by doing case studies and organizing workshops 12
