Characterisation Factors for Planetary-Boundary-Based Absolute Environmental Sustainability Assessment

Characterisation Factors for Planetary-Boundary-Based Absolute Environmental Sustainability Assessment. This dataset provides characterisation factors for the 2684 elementary flows within standard and prospective ecoinvent v3.10.1 databases, enabling the assessment of the elementary flows’ environmental burden across all global planetary boundary categories except novel entities.
