Description of scientific methods

Open source method for generating dynamic background systems for prospective LCA. The method includes both routines, datasets, and code available open access in the project repository and algorithms documented in guideline documents. Linked to T1.1. Open-source method for identification of market constraints: geographical, production capacity, co-production, and policy. The method includes both routines, datasets, and code available open access in project repository and algorithms documented in guideline documents. Linked to T1.2. Open-source method for time and space-dependent carbon accounting in bio-based carbon uptake and release activities (forest plantation, crops, composting, biogas, etc.), able to return mass balanced carbon inventories. Model code and documentation available open access on project repository. Linked to T1.2. Characterization factors for climate change and biodiversity impacts, formatted for import in major LCA software, and available open access on project repository. Linked to T1.3. Guidelines, tutorials and code for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in bio-based sectors, available open access on project repository. Lnked to T1.4. Open-source method for socio-economic assessment in bio-based sectors. Model code, calculators, and documentation available open access on project repository. Linked to T1.5.
