This enlarged dataset provides life cycle inventory information for toxics, criteria pollutants, primary energy use, water consumption, and land use in addition to the previously included greenhouse gas emissions. The dataset is available in <a href="http://www.open-io.org/download.asp">Excel output, as a SimaPro CSV file, and in its native Analytica format</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1679256886136387733-8160407731553764989?l=open-io.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Open IO Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08252316321151043734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679256886136387733.post-42947395691613853642010-05-11T09:04:00.000-07:002010-05-11T09:15:09.913-07:00The <a href="http://open-io.org/">Open IO website</a> now has a <a href="http://open-io.org/visualize.asp">visualization tool</a> available. Upon choosing a commodity and type of environmental impact category, a chart shows how various stages in the life cycle of the product contribute to the impact. At the moment, Climate Change and Water Consumption are the published impact categories. An excel spreadsheet with the raw data is also posted.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1679256886136387733-4294739569161385364?l=open-io.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Open IO Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08252316321151043734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679256886136387733.post-86967742474926351352010-02-23T10:28:00.000-08:002010-05-11T09:02:54.440-07:00Christian Solli and his colleagues at <a href="http://misa.no/uk/index.php">MiSA</a> <span style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"></span>have extended <a href="http://www.open-io.org/">Open IO</a> with their release of <a href="http://www.klimakost.no/inhold/us_industry_carbon_footprints/">Klimakost - US Industry Carbon Footprints</a>. It's a beautiful visualization of the direct and indirect GHG emissions from each sector in Open IO. The tool also breaks the share of emissions into Scope I, Scope II, and Scope III, which will surely appeal to folks experienced with the <a href="http://www.ghgprotocol.org/">GHG Protocol</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1679256886136387733-8696774247492635135?l=open-io.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Open IO Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08252316321151043734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679256886136387733.post-20978464030947813232009-12-16T12:41:00.000-08:002009-12-16T13:14:39.916-08:00Our work is finally official - we have a website released to the public!
