Description: # bentso

A library to process ENTSO-E electricity data for use in industrial ecology and life cycle assessment. Developed as part of the [BONSAI](https://bonsai.uno/) network.

## Example living life cycle inventory model

Living life cycle inventory models can:

• Automatically update themselves

• Provide results on multiple spatial scales

• Provide results on multiple time scales

This particular model is quite simple - we will gather the necessary data from the [ENTSO-E API](https://github.com/BONSAMURAIS/hackathon-2019), and return it in the specified RDF format. The model should support the following capabilities:

• Be able to specify what kind of input parameters it accepts

• Validate inputs and return sensible error messages

• Cache data to avoid unncessary ENTSO-E API calls

• Function both as a command-line utility and a normal Python library

Inputs can be a list of countries (default is all countries in ENTSO-E), and a time period (default is a given year - maybe 2018?).

This model should also follow the [BONSAI Python library skeleton](https://github.com/BONSAMURAIS/python-skeleton).
