Global Bioeconomy Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data

Source data for figures in the study "Rising greenhouse gas emissions embodied in the global bioeconomy supply chain" published in Communications Earth & Environment. The results were calculated using the REX3 database and a GHG extension including LULUCF. The data was compiled by Livia Cabernard of ETH Zurich.

Use Cases

• Recreating published visualizations of global bioeconomy supply chains based on the description.
• Analyzing embodied greenhouse gas emissions across economic sectors based on the study's focus.
• Validating or extending the REX3 database's GHG extension results based on the methodology mentioned.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed study published in Communications Earth & Environment.
• Results incorporate land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) emissions based on the title.
• Source code for figure generation in RStudio and Tableau is provided based on the description.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
