Embodied Emissions: consider making estimate of all the embodied emissions optional #153

Closed dschien closed 2 years ago

dschien commented 2 years ago

Data on all aspects is very sparse, in particular on "Total Embodied Emissions" and "Expected Lifespan", notwithstanding the methodological ambiguity mentioned in issue https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation/software_carbon_intensity/issues/152

The potential to develop a concrete method based on this standard will be limited by this requirement.

Can you clarify more on what you mean by data is very sparse? The standard cannot be too prescriptive tying it down to specifics cc @jawache @Henry-WattTime
