Release Note
Version: v0.2.0
Long time no see! We are excited to announce a major new version of the TianGong Database, now compatible with the latest version of the EF 3.1 reference package.
Please note that it will take a very much longer time to import to openLCA. It is normal and please wait.
Important Updates:
EF 3.1 Compatibility
We have updated our data to ensure compatibility with the Environmental Footprint scheme (EF 3.1).
EF 3.1 LCIA Methods
We have added methods to the life cycle environmental impact assessment, based on the latest methodology document from EF 3.1.
New Data Classification System
We have implemented a new data classification system in the database to prevent misunderstanding and misuse. Data are categorized, at top-level, as follows:
- Unit Process: Data concerning unit processes that include raw material inputs, product outputs, energy inputs, waste outputs, and pollutant emissions.
- Reference Parameters: Data used solely as parameters. For instance, data from the Second National Pollution Census, providing pollutant emission factors, are categorized as Reference Parameters, which includes product outputs and pollutant emission factors.
New Additions:
-
LCIA Methods:
- Added flow method data for life cycle environmental impact assessment, based on the latest methodology from EF 3.1. Impact Categories include:
- Human toxicity, USEtox 2.1 (non-cancer, organics, inorganics);
- Human toxicity, USEtox 2.1 (cancer, organics, inorganics);
- Climate change, Baseline model of the IPCC 2021 (fossil, biogenic, land use and change);
- Ecotoxicity, USEtox (freshwater, inorganics, organics);
- Water use, AWARE 100(Abaiblable water Remaining);
- Land use, Soil quality index;
- Resource use, Abiotic resource depletion (fossils, minerals and metals);
- EF-particulate Matter, Exposure model;
- Photochemical ozone formation - human health, LOTOS-EUROS;
- Ionising radiation, human health, Human exposure efficiency relative to U235;
- Ozone depletion，1999 WMO assessment of ozone depletion;
- Acidification, Accumulated Exceedance method;
- Eutrophication - terrestrial, Accumulated Exceedance method;
- Eutrophication, CARMEN model for waterborne emissions and EUTREND for airborne emissions (marine, freshwater);
- Added flow method data for life cycle environmental impact assessment, based on the latest methodology from EF 3.1. Impact Categories include:
-
Unit Process Data:
- Added unit process data for the soil remediation sector.
- Added unit process data for electricity generation in thermal power plants.
- Added unit process data for the electricity production structure of each province in China.
-
Flow Data:
- Added new flows for chalcogenide photovoltaics.
Issue Fixes:
- Unit Process Data:
- Revised unit process data for regional power production.
- Flow Data:
- Consolidated the flow UUID for duplicated flow information.
版本发布说明
版本号：V0.2.0
好久不见！我们很高兴地宣布天工数据库的新版本现已与EF 3.1兼容。
请注意，这导致在数据包导入openLCA时会消耗很长的时间，属于正常情况，请耐心等待。
重要更新：
EF 3.1 兼容性
我们已更新数据以确保与环境足迹计划（EF 3.1）的兼容性。
EF 3.1 LCIA 方法
我们根据EF 3.1的最新方法学文档，增加了生命周期环境影响评估中的流程方法数据。
新数据分类系统
我们在数据库中实施了新的数据分类系统，以防止误解和误用。顶层数据分类如下：
- 单位过程：关于包括原材料输入、产品输出、能源输入、废物输出和污染物排放的单位过程的数据。
- 参考参数：仅作为参数使用的数据。例如，提供污染物排放因子的第二次全国污染源普查的数据，其中包括产品输出和污染物排放因子，被分类为参考参数。
