Research output: Non-textual form › Software

Abstract

Accurately assessing the carbon footprint of reservoirs is crucial, especially during the planning stages. We have developed an open-source software specifically designed to analyse reservoirs and catchments, enabling us to accurately assess their GHG emissions. The software is a cornerstone of this project, which we provide to a range of users including water companies, developers, consultancy firms, and policymakers.

The software can be used to estimate regional and national reservoir carbon budgets and combined with multicriterial optimization to devise strategies for mitigating emissions.
