Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage Variables Matrices

Giving access to suggested variable values and components for measured, monitored, reported, and verified (MMRV) activities across Biomass for Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) value chains. It includes literature references and context from industry and scientists for several biomass sources, conversion routes, and storage scenarios. The data is intended to support life cycle assessment and MMRV efforts for BiCRS projects.

Use Cases

• Populate life cycle assessment models with suggested variable values for biomass sources, conversion routes, and storage scenarios.
• Design MMRV frameworks by referencing the provided components and literature references for specific BiCRS value chains.
• Compare and validate industry-reported data against the suggested variable values for different biomass sources.
• Identify key measurement and monitoring components for specific conversion routes and storage scenarios.

Strengths

• Compiles insights from industry and scientific literature for BiCRS value chains.
• Explicitly designed to support life cycle assessment and MMRV efforts.
• Published by the U.S. Department of Energy, indicating authoritative sourcing.

Limitations

• Specific data structure, column names, and sample data are unavailable for review.
• The dataset is in a BIN file format, which may require specialized tools to access.
• The authors note that variables may need future updates as scientific knowledge advances.
