GreenCalculus: IPCC AFOLU Tier-1 Emission Factors for Livestock and Land Use

2,953 IPCC default emission factors for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. The dataset includes factors for livestock, soils, rice cultivation, land-use change, and burning. It was sourced from Kaggle, but the author, organization, and last update date are unknown.

Use Cases

• Estimate national greenhouse gas inventories based on IPCC Tier-1 methodology.
• Model emissions from livestock enteric fermentation and manure management based on default factors.
• Calculate soil carbon stock changes from land-use conversion based on IPCC factors.
• Assess emissions from rice paddies and biomass burning using standardized coefficients.

Strengths

• Contains 2,953 distinct emission factors.
• Covers multiple key AFOLU categories: livestock, soils, rice, land-use change, and burning.

Limitations

• Row count and column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
