27. Introduction: Overview environmental footprint and life cycle assessments (P2T1)

D. Voelker (DESY)

Footprints, LCAs or environmental impact studies help to understand the impact science has on global challenges like climate change and others. They help to identify the fields for improvement and make progress countable. Is also help raising awareness amongst scientists and stirs more attention to better solution already in the design process of new and updated RIs.

Many evaluations have...

28. Life Cycle Assessment at CERN (P2T2)

R. Losito (CERN)

26/09/2024, 10:35

CERN established a Sustainable Accelerators panel to address all the aspects of sustainability in future accelerators. The panel is used to share information about projects and technologies and in this way harmonise the approach to sustainability across the Organisation. One important aspect is the Lifecycle assessment of accelerator components and infrastructure. Lifecycle assessment is being...

29. General Life Cycle Analysis in EU Colliders - Working Group on “Sustainability Assessment of Accelerators” (P2T3)

C. Bloise (INFN-LNF), M. Titov (maxim.titov@cea.fr)

26/09/2024, 10:55

The European Laboratory Directors Group that coordinates European programme of accelerator R&D, took recently the decision to establish a working group on sustainability assessment of future accelerators.

Working group mandate is to develop guidelines and a minimum set of key indicators pertaining to the methodology and scope of the reporting of sustainability aspects for future HEP...

30. Sustainability Strategy for the Cool Copper Collider (P2T4)

E. Nanni (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory / Stanford University)

26/09/2024, 11:15

The Cool Copper Collider (C3) is a new concept for a Higgs Factory based on cryogenic-copper distributed-coupling accelerator technology that promises efficiency and high gradient. In this talk, we will discuss the ongoing sustainability studies for C3, which. will be operated at 250 and 550 GeV center-of-mass energy. We introduce several strategies to reduce the power needs for C3 without...

35. Accelerator Impact Report: RUEDI (P2T5)

B. Shepherd (STFC UKRI)

26/09/2024, 12:05

STFC's Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC) aims to be a world leader in the field of sustainable accelerators. We have instigated a Sustainable Accelerators Task Force to carry out R&D into sustainable technologies. This talk describes some of the work of the Task Force. We have produced a report looking at the carbon emissions in building and operating a particle accelerator,...

36. Decreasing the footprint for a new SR facility (Bessy III) (P2T6)

J. Völker (HZB)

26/09/2024, 12:25

HZB is developing a fourth-generation light source BESSY III, as successor source to BESSY II. Due to a complete redesign of the accelerator building on a green field and the accelerator itself, an attempt should be made to reduce the invested resources, as well as the initial and running carbon footprint of BESSYIII as much as possible. Here it is necessary to identify the parameters with the...

37. Detailed Life cycle assessment for a power supply (P2T7)

A. Klumpp (DESY)

26/09/2024, 12:45

A holistic view of the life cycle of a piece of equipment, a component or a project is an important tool to assess its sustainability aspect, to make decisions on feasibility and also to improve a design in terms of sustainability.

In the course of the planned PETRA IV upgrade of our light source PETRA III, a large part of the infrastructure, but above all the whole machine (magnets, RF...
