About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

You are invited to attend the latest webinar in the Inventory of Carbon & Energy (ICE) Database Insights Series. In this webinar, we will discuss a variety of the difficulties we encounter when producing the ICE Database. This includes the technical and methodological challenges we face when producing the ICE Database.

We will provide deeper insights into some of the large challenges we need to overcome when producing data for the ICE Database, including:

  • Differences in carbon calculation method
  • Issues around data on biogenic carbon of natural materials
  • Issues around recycled content

If you're interested in how we make the ICE Database, the insights we have gained from our analysis process and the challenges we encounter, we will discuss these in more detail.
