USEEIO Elementary Flows and Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) Characterization Factors

This file contains all the elementary flows (defined in ISO 14044) used in the USEEIO model. The elementary flows come from a draft master list used by USEPA modified from the openLCA 1.4 software master list with original flows added. The characterization factors come from the openLCA 1.5.4 method pack or directly from TRACI 2.1 for the TRACI categories, or for the Non-TRACI categories, are originals used simply to sum up all types of resource use of a given type.

This dataset is associated with the following publication: Yang, Y., W. Ingwersen, T. Hawkins, and D. Meyer. USEEIO: A new and transparent United States environmentally extended input-output model. JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 158: 308-318, (2017).
