title: EXIOBASE-hybrid - Consequential System

description:  

Introduction

The Consequential System of EXIOBASE hybrid is an extended version of EXIOBASE hybrid (Merciai & Schmidt, 2018), a multi-regional hybrid input-output database. This system is particularly notable for its incorporation of models that address indirect land use changes (iLUC) and marginal electricity generation mix, alongside the inclusion of capital goods in its core input-output framework. These extensions enhances the model's capability in assessing long-term environmental consequences of human activities. 



Indirect land use change (iLUC): The model details land use-related environmental impacts by integrating indirect land use change activity accounting, such as deforestration and intensification, based on Schmidt et al. (2015). The model is first introduced into EXIOBASE by Schmidt & De Rosa (2018).

Marginal electricity mix: The model developed a long-term marginal electricity mix based on detailed characteristics of different electricity generation technologies. The underlying methodology is described in Muñoz et al. (2015) and its implementation in EXIOBASE is described in Merciai & Schmidt (2017)

Capital endogenization: The model fill the gap in capital goods use by activities by distributing capital goods use to industrial and final demand activities.

NOTE: This version is a Brightway-optimized release. It features expanded product resolution, improved product balance, efficient data structure and numerous bugfixes. Click here for a step-by-step import tutorial for Brightway2, and here for a detailed code explanation.




io_metadata provides the classification metadata for intermediate and elementary flows.

technosphere_value_table is the technosphere matrix values representing inter-sectoral flows of products and services.

index_table_hiot is the index table linking technosphere values to activities and products.

extensions_value_table provides the biosphere extensions including emissions, resource use, and other environmental flows.

index_table_extensions provides index for extension flows, allowing linkage to environmental impact categories.

product_value_table is the diagonal entries of the technosphere matrix representing the supply of products and services.


Version 3.8-beta1



NOTE: This version, EXIOBASE-hybrid v3.8-beta1, is a test release. As it is still under development, some results and data flows may contain bugs or inaccuracies. We encourage users to thoroughly review the data and report any issues or inconsistencies they encounter.
