Literature study - models

Report, 2009

The ChEmiTecs program includes eleven subprojects. In project no. 1 (P1) one of the aims is to develop a concept model regarding emissions caused by the entire process of production and use of products. This literature study aims at a limited review of the scientific literature related to models related to the ChEmiTecs model. Methods comprised search in article databases and the use of web search engines together with consultation of persons well-read in the subject. The review suggests that there have been no concept models published that resembles the whole ChEmiTecs concept model, not even close. There is however recent publications dealing with models of one certain group of emissions from one certain group of products, indicating that the question is emerging. Though there are inspirational publications out there, this study has not identified any model that cover more than parts of the ChEmiTecs concept model scope.
