Methodology description

Carbon Minds provides data following two methodologies: IPCC 2021 (excluding biogenic CO2) and ISO14067. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document. See https://www.carbon-minds.com/products/data/carbon-footprint-and-lca-data/ to download the methodology.

Climatiq currently offers the indicators that correspond directly to those provided by the source:

  • fossil
  • biogenic
  • land use change

We also provide source field "bioCarbonContent" in the PCF endpoint.

In common with other datasets following the relevant standards, the land use change field includes only emissions from land-use change. Any relevant emissions from land use or management are within the "biogenic" field.
