To be able to make a statement on the environmental compatibility of a rail vehicle, so-called Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) have to be drawn up, which analyse the environmental impacts of a rail vehicle during its entire life cycle, i.e. from its production via its use up to its disposal. The Life Cycle Assessment of the Prima II has been drawn up according to ISO 14040. The analysed life cycle of the Prima II is based on life duration of 30 years, for a locomotive travelling 150000 km per year. The LCA results are thereby divided into 3 phases: Upstream Module, Core Module and Downstream Module. The Upstream Module includes the extraction and production of raw materials, for example. The Core Module describes, inter alia, the production of the rail vehicle and the corresponding energy consumptions (power, water, gas). The Downstream Module demonstrates the energy consumption during the operation phase (use), the transport of the vehicle to the customer and the disposal of the product (End-of-Life)The environmental impacts of the energy consumption during use are determined by means of the French energy mixture.
Impact categories
Impact categories are selected environmental topics, which reflect the consolidated values of emissions or resource consumption and represent the potential environmental impacts. GWP The Global Warming Potential describes the impacts of certain gases on the anthropogenic, i.e. man-made greenhouse effect. The relevant greenhouse gases are indicated in CO2 equivalents, i.e. the emissions are set in relation to CO2 concerning their potential greenhouse effect. ODP The Ozone Depletion Potential describes the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer caused by mankind. If the ozone concentration in the stratosphere is too low, this may cause photosynthesis failures, for example, and humans may suffer from skin cancer and eye diseases, for example.
The Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential quantifies
the photochemical ozoneforming potentials of individual emissions. Excessive photochemical ozone creation leads to a high, particularly toxic ozone concentration near ground level. AP The Acidification Potential describes the acid deposition in plants, soils and surface waters caused by the conversion of air pollutants in acid. EP Eutrophication Potential is defined as the potential of nutrients to cause overfertilisation of water and soil which in turn can result in increased growth of biomass Recycling rate The recycling rate describes the ratio of the quantity of material that can be reused, recycled or both to the whole mass of the vehicle. Recovery rate The recovery rate is composed of the material mass that can be recycled, reused or energetically recovered.
