1 PIRE Summer School - India Curriculum Planning – Week 2 Urban Material-Energy Flow Analysis (MEFA) & Environmental Footprints Anu, Marian, Bhavik, Brian O’ Neill

2 Text from Proposal Week 2. Urban Metabolism and Environmental Footprints of Cities will be covered via the SEIS framework with concepts of urban energy/materials flow analysis (M-EFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) applied to develop transboundary water-, energy and GHG emission footprints of cities.

3 Week 2 Input Outputs: Trade, Jobs, Economy, Pollution

4 GHG CIF is represented by the territorial GHGs plus GHGs in all trans-boundary infrastructure supply-chains. GHG CBF is represented by only areas in WHITE. GHG IB represents GHGs within the community boundary (territorial). Infrastructure supply- chains provide basic services: Water/Waste, Energy, Transportation, Food, Shelter (matls), used in all cities. Non-Infrastructure supply-chains provide all other goods and services; these may differ across cities. Not to scale Chavez & Ramaswami, 2013

5 Key Concepts Week 2 Material-Energy Flow Analysis & Footprints Intro: MEFA and Footprints: (Lc.1). MEFA across different units of society (Scale & Boundary Issues; Need to Couple MEFA with LCA to develop Footprints), (Lc.2). Practical Issues of Determining Direct Urban MEFA [Day 1]. General Approach to Developing Urban Resource Use and Pollution Footprints: MEFA & LCA. Different types of LCA; Determining Intensity Factors from LCA (example of Energy and GHG) [Day 2] Different Types of Urban Environmental Footprints, Policy Implications: Infrastructure FP, Consumption FP and “Total”: (1) Group Presentation on Delhi’s Infrastructure GHG Emissions FP (2). Developing the “Total GHG Footprint” Community Wide Infrastructure GHG FP + Non-Infrastructure Flows GHG FP [Day 3]. Water Footprint of Urban Energy Supply - Water-Energy Nexus: (Lc.1). Water FP of Community-Wide Infrastructure, (Lc.2). Water embodied in non- infrastructure flows, (Lc.3). Climate Change and Water Flow in Ganga & Yamuna [Day 4]. Adding on Material Flows: Coupled Water-Energy-Materials FP [Day 5]. Exploring data availability of above in small cities: Kanpur [Day 6].

6 Assessing Exposure to Concepts (From IGERT)
