− Energy expanded with energy resources in SimaPro not adapted in V2.1 (values taken fromCumulative energy demand V1.2 method)− Greenhouse, Summer smog: Methane, biogenic and Methane, fossil added− Euthrophication: phosphorus compounds completed.− Acidification, Euthrophication: nitrogen compounds completed.− Acidification: sulphur compounds completed.− "Particulates, > 2,5 um, and < 10um" added with the assumption that the characterization factoris the same as for "Particulates, < 10 um"Other adaptations (March 2005):− Eutrophication: dinitrogen monoxide removed; nitrogen, to water added (equal to nitrogen,total, to water)− Solid waste: waste, from drilling, unspecified added.Other adaptations (August 2005, v.2.03):− In impact category energy resources the characterisation value for "Gas, natural in ground" hasbeen changed from 40,3 to 38,3 MJ LHV/m 3 following the ecoinvent 1.2 update.This method is not fully adapted for inventory data from the ecoinvent library and the USA InputOutput <strong>Data</strong>base 98, and therefore omits emissions that could have been included in impactassessment.The characterisation conforms to the CML guide used in the SimaPro2 method; however thetoxicity scores are specified into heavy metals, carcinogenic substances, pesticides and wintersmog.Normalisation is based on 1990 levels for Europe excl. former USSR. In Europe ‘g’ missing datawas extrapolated using GNP's (gross national product); ‘e’ missing data was extrapolated usingenergy use. The Europe ‘e’ normalisation is used in the Eco-indicator method.Weighting is based on distance to target. Criteria for target levels are:- One excess death per million per year- 5% ecosystem degradation- Avoidance of smog periods.Due to continual adjustments of the method and/or inventory data sets the Eco-indicator 95 inSimaPro will not give the same result as the original printed version.
