Description
Within the EU Horizon Europe project SAGELi, we are developing an interactive platform to visualise results of multicriteria ecodesign assessments. The platform aims to provide early-stage feedback to technology developers on how specific design choice – e.g., electrolyte or electrodes’ composition – affect key sustainability dimensions. These dimensions are critical raw material use, safety, recyclability, economics, and environmental impacts estimated using streamlined LCA. As the technologies are in development, results are highly uncertain and the key value of the platform is to highlight environmental hotspots and demonstrate sensitivities of different design alternatives.
To this end, we are developing an interactive dashboard built with plotly/dash. In the background, an LCA database should be connected, either directly or using brightway2.
Two key questions are i) the design of a smart interactive solution to sensitivity studies for ecodesign and ii) the feasibility of creating a method to assess the critical raw material use leveraging open industrial ecology software.
In this presentation, we will showcase our current ideas for those two key questions hoping to stimulate valuable discussions. Regarding i), we will present a mock-up created with Figma upon implementation of user’s feedback. Regarding ii), we will present a very naïve approach using ecoinvent resource flows and demonstrate its shortcomings.
