CUTECObjective
What is GEMIS What GEMIS delivers How to operate GEMIS Examples Tips and Tricks, Q&A
CUTECGEMIS
GEMIS = Global Emission-Model of Integrated Systems
Data bank application Balance for analysis/summary and comparison No proof for correct figures As with other simulations and data banks
Garbage in = garbage out
CUTECIntroduction LCA
Life-cycle-analysis of energy-, material- and transport-processes
Energy and material flow from cradle to grave Calculation, summing up and descriptive

CUTECFeatures of GEMIS
GEMIS assesses the final utilization based on the used resources
Calculation of life cycles incl. construction and disposal (if wanted)
Including transport, process energy, support energy, materials etc.
Project „Standard“ contains checked figures Own processes to add or look up known
processes Problem: non-linear relations, loops
CUTECBasics
Emission calculation Separate lecture
Climate change gases CO2 equivalent
CO2, CH4, N2O, refrigerants SO2 equivalent
Air emissionsOr individual figures
TOPP equivalentOzone precursor substances
CUTECMain elements
Products Energy resources
Complete dataNeeded for exact emission calculation
MaterialsCosts and environmental impact
ResourcesRenewable and non-renewable

Processes Example combustion
Connection to process energy deliveryDefinition of efficiencyMain and additional products/by-productsCostsWhite cells can be edited, grey cells are
calculated by GEMISCalculation of emissionsEvaluation of emission reduction measures
Example Energy conversion

CUTECResults from calculation
Whole chain Resource-Transport-Conversion-Final Energy kWh electricity or fuel
Technologies and sources as defined before
CUTECEnergy benefit ratio
kWh of fossil energy per 1 kWh of final energy Ratio of output energy / fossil input energy
CUTEC
ScenariosComparison of energy demandComparison of options
More features Export of data Explanations Global switch
Scope of analysis Allocations
CUTECOwn experience
A bit tricky Do not believe and re-calculate/estimate Input and output in additional excel sheets Effort, allocate time and concentration
