Python class creating Multi-Regional symmetric Environmentally Extended Input-Output (MREEIO) tables for Canada. OpenIO-Canada operates at the provincial level (13 provinces). It can thus be used to compare the environmental impacts of value chains or consumption by households from any specific province.
OpenIO-Canada covers 492 commodities, 33 GHGs, 310 pollutants in 3 compartments (air, water and soil), 67 mineral resources, water consumption and energy use.
OpenIO-Canada is connected to the Exiobase global MRIO database to model value chains happening outside Canada.
Clone the repository (or download it) and install the different libraries required to run this Python class (requirements.txt).
Note that we recommend working with version 3.9.7 of Python as we can ensure it works for that specific version.
Go to the doc folder and take a look at the demo.ipynb file to see how to generate the IO tables.

Support for the industry version (ixi) is currently discontinued as it requires too much work. Support for lower detail IOIC classifications (i.e., Summary, Link-1961 and Link-1997) is also discontinued.
An article describing the methodology and results of openIO-Canada will be published soon.
