Previously named rmnd-lca. rmnd-lca was designed to work with the IAM model REMIND only. As it now evolves towards a more IAM-neutral approach, a change of name was considered.

The objective is to produce life cycle inventories under future energy policies, by modifying the inventory database ecoinvent 3 to reflect projected energy policy trajectories.
- Python 3.9
- License for ecoinvent 3
- Some IAM output files come with the library and are located by default in the subdirectory "/data/iam_output_files". If you wish to use those files, you need to request (by email) an encryption key from the developers. A file path can be specified to fetch IAM output files elsewhere on your computer.

Two options:
A development version with the latest advancements (but with the risks of unseen bugs), is available from Anaconda Cloud:
conda config --append conda-forge
conda config --append cmutel
conda config --append romainsacchi
conda install premise
For a more stable and proven version, from Pypi:
pip install premise
will install the package and the required dependencies.
The best way is to follow the examples from the Jupyter Notebook.
