Carbon Calculator is a kit to compute the LCA in cropland, developed in the framework of IT-HR GECO2 project.
- download carbonCalculator_WIN64.zip
- unzip files on your local path, for example in C:\carbonCalculator
- data for credits and debits computation can be entered in the CarbonCalculator google form
- you can test the input data for the credits computation with this TEST form
- when the form is complete you can save the data as csv file: go to 'Risposte' --> 'scarica risposte (.csv)'
- put your csv files in the directory carbonCalculator\data
- in the distribution you can found two test input files (testInputCredits.csv and testInputDebits.csv)
- run carbonCalculator\bin\carbonCalculator.exe
- load credits or debits csv files with the File menu
- compute credits or debits with the Run menu
- please insert a name for the output db that identify your area (for example: GECO2_ER.db)
- warning and error messages warn you if any data is wrong
- for each field a synthetic summary is provided: the carbon budget in CO2eq and if the credits satisfy the GECO2 specifications
- the output will be saved in the directory carbonCalculator\data
- output file is a SQLite database, download https://sqlitebrowser.org/ to manage data
- see the table carbon_dynamics for ************* (add info)
- see the table carbon_budget for ************* (add info)
