00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000
Okay, thank you very much.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:18.000
And our next talk will be from So I'm just checking from cutting a bloys.

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.000
Katrina, can you hear us?

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:32.000
Yes. I present the European LEDG Working Group on Sustainability Assessment of Future Accelerator. Thanks for this opportunity.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:42.000
To present this activity.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:56.000
The LEDG group is the panel of directors of the major particle physics laboratory in Europe.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:14.000
It does the mandate by the Sun Council to define and coordinated activity on the research and development roadmap for future larger facility in the field.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:33.000
Of accelerator science for future large-scale facility for particle physics. There are five spare panels devoted to the major sector of the development of accelerator physics.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:02:02.000
I feel managed on plasma and laser accelerator on radio fragrances structure me on beams, and energy recovery linux working from several years from in 2024 the LEDG established a working group on sustainability.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:14.000
With the… mandate to develop guidelines and minimum set of key indicator for the sustainability assessment of future accelerator.

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:40.000
The panel consists of 15 members. With technical expertise in evaluation of accelerated sustainability working on the laboratory panels, European laboratory panels working on the European Horizon programs on sustainability in the accelerator fields.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:03:10.000
And there are also the representative of Future Collider project. The… from May to November 2024 we had several meetings sharing a broad range of topics from the reports of the major laboratories in Europe concerning the evaluation carried out for the future X factories, FSCC, ELC,

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.000
C cube and cpc cpc

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:51.000
Then there was a discussion on the key life cycle assessment issues and they were invited as per contribution from concerning the carbonization for large research infrastructure concerning the Alessia of engineering civil works for the FSCC And the European Horizon project research facility 2.0 devoted

00:03:53.000 --> 00:04:08.000
Aiming to energy saving in the accelerator based infrastructure And on contribution on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in particle detectors.

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:38.000
By Patricio Mandeli from CERN. From these reports and follow up discussion we derive the structure of content of report version of this report, a short summary of this report has been submitted as input to the European strategy process and has been indicated yesterday by Dave Newbold during the

00:04:48.000 --> 00:05:14.000
The panel uh the panel discussion I point out the sustainability assessment is a is complex and is a field the larger underdevelopment so we you don't have to expect an homogene evaluation of all the issues that are discussed and for having

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:35.000
A more advanced evaluation of all this I think that the laboratories in Europe have to put in place a strategy that to be pushed over time.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:45.000
The rap is in practice provides a reference framework to enable coherent flux of information among scientists.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:54.000
And it's focused on the future collider project. But much of the work is relevant for current and future research infrastructure.

00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:05.000
Is a summary is in practice a summary of current best practices of obligation standard that we have in this field.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:20.000
As I say, the sustainability assessment is complex and I think the criteria as to be tuned to the maturity of the project and separately develop it for scientists, policymakers and society.

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:40.000
There is a lot of work that is discussed in the report coming from economists and environmental scientists that has been used in setting guidelines standards and legislation.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:59.000
On this respect uh oh sorry In this respect, the S3… roadmap for 2026 is focused on this on this subject.

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:14.000
And for the first time, okay, but also outline that um

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:33.000
That that um The focus is on the financial sustainability of the research infrastructure, but is being introducing the new while introducing the new dimension of environmental consideration to foster environmental sustainability.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:41.000
So we have to move in, I think, in this framework.

00:07:41.000 --> 00:08:03.000
The first part of the report discuss about the comprehensive sustainability assessment based on quantitative cost benefit analysis This is an obligation.

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:24.000
From their from several of the legislation or national of European and national legislation We are aware that the benefits and positives personalities of the research infrastructure are not fully captured by this analysis.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:44.000
And in fact, also Esris are aware of the situation because he says that the RSC should develop internal expertise for impact assessment and must define a relevant impact dimension in a proactive way.

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.000
The…

00:08:46.000 --> 00:09:16.000
An important subject with the report is the lifestyle circle assessment that is the approach to quantify the environmental impact and is the field where the accelerator scientists can of the major impact because of the expertise of the laboratories the build and operated the accelerator

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:24.000
In the design, in the playing and costing of

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:51.000
The values element of the project. The Alessia is intended to identify the most critical element in the design to compare its use is intended to be used to compare the design variance And to provide also evaluation of the impact to fulfill the legal requirements.

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:58.000
Performing LSCR for major components at each stage of the design is recommended in the report.

00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:08.000
And the coordinated efforts of the Energy Physics European Lab to create a common database of LCI results.

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:18.000
Is intended to be strategic to obtain a reference framework for the project accountability.

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:42.000
The goals and scope of the lifecycle assessment also depend on target audience and are intended to optimize the facility when address it to scientists to provide information to decision process when addressed to policymakers and to communicate global performance when addressed to society.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:59.000
There are several detailed recommendation concerning the conduction and the of the LSCI in the report.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:25.000
Simplified Alesia at an early concept phase is recommended to set up the basis for lifecycle assessment at the later design stages and also to mention a few the lifetime of the accelerator component that

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:48.000
Are known to the scientists should be considered adaptive to to include the replacement of the systems and the system in the full environmental impact.

00:11:48.000 --> 00:12:18.000
Another part of the report is devoted to the environmental impact to comment and to describe the environmental impact of large research infrastructure It includes the civil engineering works, the accelerator of construction, the accelerator operation with the particle detector and other acquisition center and the commissioning. We present also a table that

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:36.000
Has been shown before by Ben with the synthesis of data on greenhouse gas emission of future colliders.

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:50.000
Last chapter is devoted to mitigation compensation measures. And include the design of the research infrastructure with sustainability as a goal.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:13:08.000
The implementation of responsible procurement processes. The investment in research and development on green technology, the recover and supply and natural-based intervention for carbon removal.

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:24.000
There are also some annexes to the test. With the outcome from this NOMAS process amplify report on the plans to reduce accelerator energy consumption in China.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:40.000
And the comprehensive sustainability assessment based on cost benefit analysis on national legislation then There are key parameters and estimated greenhouse gas emissions of future colliders.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:14:03.000
To summarize the major recommendation in the report. Are to perform a comprehensive cost benefit analysis that becomes more and more important for policymakers, having in mind that the benefit and positive externalities are not fully captured and we have to

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.000
Continue to develop in this field.

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:35.000
We recommend to perform a lifecycle assessment at each project stage, proposal CDR, TDR to understand the most critical elements in the design, and to provide input for technological choices reducing the environmental impact. And we recommend the coordinated efforts to develop a common database for accelerator materials and components that are strategic to establish a framework of a project accountability. We recommend adoption of responsible procurement procedures that is one key component of sustainable research infrastructure.

00:14:48.000 --> 00:15:12.000
Balancing initial costs with total lifecycle costs, environmental impact and social responsibility We recommend implementation of energy management plans and investment in research and development for sustainable accelerator technologies.

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:26.000
The funding, to summarize, the funding landscape is changing rapidly in Europe and beyond, which will require addressing sustainability, environmental impact of future larger scale research infrastructure.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:42.000
Sustainability assessment for future larger scale accelerator infrastructure is quite complex because the assessment criteria needs to be properly tuned to the maturity of the project and different developers for scientists, policymakers and society.

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:59.000
Ledg Sustainability Working Group Reporta comprises socioeconomic benefits of accelerator-based research infrastructure, the basis for of sustainability assessment, the methodology reporting of life cycle assessment for future energy physics accelerator.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:07.000
The evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions in construction operation, the commissioning and mitigation compensation strategy.

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:23.000
A version a short version of the report has been submitted as input to the European strategy process And to conclude an emergency evaluation of all issues, the service strategy to be partial time.

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.000
Thank you.

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:32.000
Thank you so much, Katerina. Any questions for Katerina?

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.000
Julian?

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.000
Yes, hi. Can you go back to slide number five, please?

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:44.000
Sorry, but I have problem with you. Five.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.000
Yes.

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.000
Okay, five.

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:54.000
Yes, exactly. So I was wondering, I mean this

00:16:54.000 --> 00:17:00.000
I can honor you. May you speak loudly?

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.000
Yes.

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:20.000
Oh, sorry, can you hear me better like this? Okay. I was wondering where the timetable, sorry, the table of content comes from. Maybe you said it, but I missed it. Is this from the… The working group report on sustainability.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.000
Okay, and how can we…

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.000
Yes, is the content of the working group report that will be available in june uh

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:34.000
Okay, so it has not been added to the ESPP. Contribution, right? It is not in the supplemental material

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:39.000
We'll be there. Okay, we'll be released in June. So we…

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:44.000
Okay. Okay. Good. Okay, thank you very much.

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:56.000
Thank you
