hestia-earth-models 0.42.0

Hestia's set of modules for filling gaps in the activity data using external datasets (e.g. populating soil properties with a geospatial dataset using provided coordinates) and internal lookups (e.g. populating machinery use from fuel use). Includes rules for when gaps should be filled versus not (e.g. never gap fill yield, gap fill crop residue if yield provided etc.).

Hestia Engine Models

Hestia's set of models for running calculations or retrieving data using external datasets and internal lookups.

Documentation

Documentation for every model can be found in the Hestia API Documentation.

Using Spatial Models

We have models that can gap-fill geographical information on a Site. If you want to use thse models:

1. Install the library: pip install hestia_earth.earth_engine
2. Follow the Getting Started instructions.

Using Ecoinvent Model

ecoinvent is a consistent, transparent, and well validated life cycle inventory database. We use ecoinvent data to ascertain the environmental impacts of activities that occur outside of our system boundary, for example data on the environmental impacts of extracting oil and producing diesel, or the impacts of manufacturing plastics. To include these data in your environmental impact assessments using Hestia, you must own a suitable ecoinvent license.

Please contact us at [e-mail] for instructions to download the required file to run the model. Once downloaded, copy the file in the hestia_earth/models/data/ecoinventV3 folder. Thank you!
