Case Studies
Ecodesign for Capella has been largely developed during Ecoplex, a collaborative project led by Obeo in partnership with Capgemini Engineering, Manta Innovation, Stirling Design International, Efinor Sea Cleaner, and the Laboratory of Digital Sciences of Nantes (LS2N). The project was carried out with the support of EMC2, BPI France, and the Bretagne and Pays de la Loire regions.
The objective of Ecoplex was to provide a methodological approach and a software solution to concile Systems Engineering with Life Cycle Assessment in the Naval domain, while also being applicable to other industrial sectors (automotive, aeronautics, energy, health, etc.).
The industrial partners of the project brought two concrete case studies on which the solution has been experimented in order to compute life cycle analyses for studying alternatives that could improve their environmental impacts.
In each case, two life cycle assessments have been conducted: one from an inventory automatically generated from Ecodesign for Capella and imported into OpenLCA, and another one from an inventory entered manually directly in OpenLCA. In both cases the impacts computed were equivalent.
