The Global Emissions Model of Integrated Systems ( GEMIS ) is a freely available computer model with an integrated database for life cycle and life cycle assessment and material flow analysis as well as the CO 2 footprint for energy, material and transport systems. GEMIS runs under Windows operating systems.
GEMIS was developed by the Öko-Institut and the first version was created in 1989 with funding from the Hessian Ministry of Environment and Economics. Since then, it has been continuously updated and expanded with support from the Federal Ministry for the Environment , the Federal Ministry for Research and the Federal Environment Agency , GIZ , EEA and EU projects.
In April 2012, GEMIS was transferred to the International Institute for Sustainability Analyzes and Strategies ( IINAS ), which is responsible for further development and data maintenance .
GEMIS is used for environmental and cost analysis in over 30 countries and has around 2,000 users.
Data from GEMIS is made directly available by the web-based database ProBas (process-oriented basic data for environmental management systems) operated by the Federal Environment Agency , i.e. the life cycle data can be displayed directly in a web browser.
