bentso

A library to process ENTSO-E electricity data for use in industrial ecology and life cycle assessment. Developed as part of the BONSAI 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, 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.
