Question

What are total environmental impacts of consumption per person per year for different regions using different methods of life cycle impact assessment?

Answer

+ Show code- Hide code library(OpasnetUtils) objects.latest("Op_en5904", code_name = "initiate") # [[Normalisation data for life cycle assessments]]. We need normalisation. oprint(head(EvalOutput(normalisation)@output))

Calculations

+ Show code- Hide code library(OpasnetUtils) # Get the normalisation data for different damages and make an ovariable out of it. normalisation <- opbase.data("Op_en5904") # [[Normalisation data for life cycle assessments]] normalisation$Obs <- NULL oprint(head(normalisation)) normalisation <- Ovariable("normalisation", data = normalisation) objects.store(normalisation) cat("Ovariable normalisation stored.\n")
