Primary forest #196

Open fchichorro opened 4 months ago

fchichorro commented 4 months ago

Could we have a flowable named Primary forest (kg), or with a similar name (Wood, primary forest)? It is an important flowable for the CED method, for instance, where it is the sole contributor to the category Non-renewable, biomass. Same units as "Wood" but as a non-renewable resource.

Having this flowable would also allow a better mapping against Ecoinvent, as this flow exists there in the form of Wood, primary forest, standing (m3)

hi @fchichorro - yes I think this would make sense. I'll note that we have had a FEDEFL adapted CED Method for a while here, which also includes a primary forest flow that was not officially a FEDEFL flow. This method is being added to the LCIAfmt for consistency.
