["introduction.html", "Section 1 Introduction", " Section 1 Introduction AGEC-LCI is a VBA application hosted in Microsoft Excel that computes emissions generated from the application of soil amendments, fertilizers and metal-based fungicides in agriculture (Figure 1.1). Figure 1.1: Emissions Computed by AGEC-LCI A state of the art analysis of the models for computing direct field emission from fertilizers, pesticides and soil amendments was carried out. Acknowledging that agricultural emissions are site- and time dependent, a parsimonious approach was considered for the selection of the models (Table 1.1). See Section 4 for more details on the selected models.

["instructions.html", "Section 2 Instructions for use", " Section 2 Instructions for use Step 1 Unzip the compressed folder AGEC-LCI_v1_0.zip, then open the file AGEC-LCI_v1_0.xlsm (Figure 2.1). Figure 2.1: AGEC-LCI is stored in a macro-enabbled workbook Step 2 Click on the Launch AGEC-LCI user interface button at the top of README-RUN worksheet of AGEC-LCI_v1_0.xlsm (Figure 2.2). Figure 2.2: Launch AGEC-LCI user interface Step 3 The AGEC-LCI user interface will be displayed (Figure 2.3). Figure 2.3: AGEC-LCI user interface AGEC-LCI allows the user to select inputs from a database composed of 25 crops (Table 2.1), 42 fertilizers (Table 2.2), 6 metal-based fungicides (Table 2.3) and the pedo-climatic characteristics of 5 French regions (Figure 2.4) according to data from AGRIBALYSE (Koch and Salou 2015). Furthermore, the user is allowed to add crops, regions and other inputs not available in the accompanying database. Table 2.1: Crops available in AGEC-LCI Crop Carrots Grapes/vine (tree nursery) Grapes/vine (non productive) Grapes/vine (productive) Durum wheat Durum wheat – straw Soft wheat Soft wheat – straw Rapeseed Silage maize Grain maize Seed maize Potatoes Sugar beet Alfalfa Barley Barley- straw Peas Permanent meadow Temporary grassland Sunflowers Triticale Triticale – straw Product, average Co-product, average Table 2.2: Fertilizers available in AGEC-LCI Fertilizer Type Feather meal Compost Green waste compost Compost Household waste compost Compost Manure / slurry compost Compost Cattle slurry Slurry Thin cattle slurry Slurry Broiler manure Manure Cattle manure Manure Cattle manure heap Manure Compost bedded cattle manure Manure Laying hen manure Manure Pig manure Manure Ammonium nitrate Mineral fertilizer Ammonium sulphate Mineral fertilizer Average mineral fertilizer, as K2O Mineral fertilizer Average mineral fertilizer, as N Mineral fertilizer Average mineral fertilizer, as P2O5 Mineral fertilizer Calcium ammonium nitrate Mineral fertilizer Calcium nitrate Mineral fertilizer Diammonium phosphate Mineral fertilizer Lime, from carbonation Mineral fertilizer Magnesium oxide Mineral fertilizer Monoammonium phosphate Mineral fertilizer Potassium chloride Mineral fertilizer Potassium nitrate Mineral fertilizer Potassium sulphate Mineral fertilizer Single superphosphate Mineral fertilizer Triple superphosphate Mineral fertilizer Urea Mineral fertilizer Urea ammonium nitrate Mineral fertilizer Limestone, milled, loose Mineral fertilizer Composted sewage sludge Sludge Composted sewage sludge (default) Sludge Concentrated sugar beet vinasse Sludge Dried sewage sludge Sludge Dried sewage sludge (default) Sludge Limed sewage sludge Sludge Limed sewage sludge (default) Sludge Liquid sewage sludge Sludge Liquid sewage sludge (default) Sludge Sugar beet vinasse Sludge Sugar beet vinasse (default) Sludge Table 2.3: Metal-based fungicides available in AGEC-LCI Metal-based fungicides Mancozeb Metiram zinc Propineb Zineb Ziram Click on the coloured polygons to display the main characteristics of the available regions in AGEC-LCI. Figure 2.4: Regions available in AGEC-LCI Step 4 You will be asked to give a short name for your current project. It is advised to give a short and meaningful name, because it will be part of the name of the reports and the process generated (Figure 2.5). Click OK to finish the computations. Figure 2.5: Name your current project Step 5 Three reports will be generated and stored under the Results folder accompanying this tool (Figure 2.6). The Results folder will be automatically open at the end of the computation. Report_Project_Name_YYYY-MM-DD.xlsx: Contains the user’s inputs and the calculated emissions. The aim of this report is to keep track of the inputs that need to be entered by the LCA practitioner into a LCA software. Report_olca_Project_Name_YYYY-MM-DD.xlsx: Reports the calculated emissions in an Excel file compatible with openLCA. The importation of this report was tested with openLCA 1.9.0, and the procedure is described in Section 3.1. Report_SimaPro_Project_Name_YYYY-MM-DD.csv: Reports the calculated emissions in a csv file compatible with SimaPro. The importation of this csv file was tested with SimaPro 8.5.2.2, it is not guaranteed that it will work in previous versions the software. The procedure for importing this file is described in Section 3.2. Figure 2.6: Files generated by AGEC-LCI References "], | ||
["importing-agec-lci-reports-into-lca-software.html", "Section 3 Importing AGEC-LCI reports into LCA software 3.1 openLCA 3.2 SimaPro", " Section 3 Importing AGEC-LCI reports into LCA software AGEC-LCI generates reports that can be directly imported into LCA software such as openLCA and SimaPro, which greatly reduces the time required for computing the impact of emissions resulting from soil amendments, fertilizers and metal-based fungicides. 3.1 openLCA Activate your working database Under File, select import. Select the Excel file format and click on Next (Figure 3.1). Figure 3.1: Importing an Excel file into openLCA Find the AGEC-LCI report in Excel format you would like to import. The name of the AGEC-LCI report compatible with openLCA follows the pattern “Report_olca_Project_Name_YYYY-MM-DD.xlsx”. Of course, you can rename this file prior to its importation into openLCA. Select the file to be imported and click on finish (Figure 3.2). Figure 3.2: Selecting the file to be imported After the importation, a child category AGEC-LCI will be created under Processes and Flows from the navigation panel (Figure 3.3). Figure 3.3: Child categories added to Processes and Flows 3.2 SimaPro Open your project Under File, select import. Click on Add. Select the csv file for importing (Figure 3.4). Figure 3.4: Importing a csv file into SimaPro Click OK to launch the importation. After the importation, a child category AGEC will be created under Processes/Use/Others (Figure 3.5). Figure 3.5: Child category added after importation Notes: The default name of the flow generated by AGEC-LCI is Agricultural emissions, AGEC. The default name of the process is composed by concatenation of the strings “Agricultural emissions, AGEC-LCI-” and “Your Project Name”, which you entered at step 3 of the instructions for use.
