    Hello,

    I would like to know if the default emission factors given in LEAP's TED are based on the 1996 IPCC values or 2006 values?

    When I checked the database in LEAP, it references 1996 values. However, I saw several published journals mention that they used "LEAP's default 2006 emission factors".

    Appreciate if someone can clarify.

    Thanks,
    Sara

    Hi Sara - 1996 I believe. The emission factors in TED are rather old now. We are working on replacing it with a better system in a future version of LEAP.
