Demand-centered hybrid life-cycle methodology for city-scale GHG inventories
- Description of tool/’patch’ (action statement): This is similar to the consumption-based emissions inventory but limited (in its treatment of materials) to "key urban materials" (cement, water, transportation fuels and food).
- Tips/best practices for applying the tool: TBD
- Issues/obstacles: TBD
- Resources/citations (justification for use of this particular tool/patch): See this article. Lead researcher (Anu Ramaswami) has expressed interest in collaborating on our effort, and has also co-authored a paper (currently being published) that expands this analysis to include 7 other cities (in addition to Denver), including Seattle and Portland.
