Steubing et al. (2022)
An overview of the Steubing et al. Emissions Factor Source
Summary
This paper compares emissions factors from two prominent LCA and EEIO databases. In doing so it takes the EXIOBASE spend based emissions factor data and translates them into activity based values to facilitate direct comparison.

Sumday Concise Name | Steubing et al. (2022) |
Description | Life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input output analysis (EEIOA) are two widely used approaches to assess the environmental impacts of products and services with the aim of providing decision support. Here, we compare carbon footprint (CF) results for products and services in the ecoinvent 3.4 cut‐off and the hybrid version of EXIOBASE. |

Sumday Take | This dataset provides high level activity based factors across a broad range of of geographies and activities. The emissions source categories map to the Exiobase factors meaning that they can be helpful for comparison purposes.
It is worth noting that these factors are not LCA derived and as such have some limitations. Organisations should assess the appropriateness of these emissions factors for their individual context before incorporating them into their inventory. |
