presamples

Write, load, manage and verify presample arrays for LCA.

Presamples Logo
Presamples is used to write, load, manage and verify presample arrays. Presample arrays refer to arrays of values that specific parameters or matrix elements can take on. The presamples package allows these arrays to be generated ahead of their use in a particular model. This is useful if: Generating these values is computationally expensive and there is no need to recalculate them with each model run; We want to reuse the same values every time a model is solved. Presamples was initially built specifically for parameters and matrix elements used in life cycle assessment (LCA), and hence has many methods specifically geared at making the integration of presamples in LCA models easy. However, it can be used in any other type of model.

Biomass energy, or bioenergy, is energy produced from renewable biomass, for which the assessment of environmental impacts through life cycle assessment (LCA) presents a number of challenges, in particular methodological ones. The general objectives of this study are to analyze current practices for carrying out LCAs of biomass energy, and to provide recommendations on current and future best practices.

Food choices have a significant climate impact, which can be unknown to the public. The CIRAIG, commissioned by Polytechnique Montréal, has been tasked with calculating the climate-warming impact of the menus offered by the cafeteria, aiming to enable students to understand the impact of their meals and change their eating habits to reduce it.
