    Hi community!
    I do not understand how to link technologies to Environmental Loading with data from the IPCC as suggested in exercise 1,5.
    How is this done?
    Thanks, Tomas

    Hi Tomas,

    Sorry for the confusion. The process for adding environmental loadings changed in LEAP version 2018 and hasn't been reflected in the training materials. Please refer to the attached post for the new process of adding environmental loadings: https://www.energycommunity.org/default.asp?action=9&tid=3972&fid=22

    Thanks,
    Emily

    Thanks, now we can add environmental loading, but we still do not understand how to link the environmental loading to the IPCC.
    Thanks, Tomas

    Hi Tomas -

    The emission factors in LEAP are not directly linked to any IPCC database. However, GHG emission factors for each fuel type, which are located under the TED categories "IPCC Tier 1 Default Emission Factors", were originally taken from the IPCC's Second Assessment Report. If you want to use different emission factors, you would need to modify them yourself.

    Best,
    Taylor
