A new version of GHGenius is now available, GHGenius 4.00.
The model has improvements in three areas:
1. There have been some structural changes to the model that have been made to facilitate some future planned updates.
2. There are additional chemical inputs that can be modelled.
3. The user can now investigate alternative co-product allocation approaches besides the default displacement methods.

A new version (3.19) of the model has been posted. This contains a new output sheet with the emissions for the production of a tonne of feedstock.
Version 3.16c has been moved to a separate Forum for continued availablity for the BC LCFS.

This version of the model incorporates two new pathways, wood to gasoline and wood to DME, as well as the expansion of the natural gas production system to include unconventional sources of natural gas, such as coal bed methane and shale gas.

This work introduces and develops a new functional unit to GHGenius so that the tool can be applied to freight transportation systems that are employed to move goods. This function unit is a tonne-km, being the movement of one tonne of goods one kilometre. Previously only a unit of energy or the distance travelled were used as functional units in GHGenius. This new measure provides a reference for very different systems that are commonly used to move freight.
This work includes a new output sheet for the results. The emissions are presented for all of the GHG and CAC emissions in the model.
The modes of freight that have been included are truck, rail, marine and some preliminary information for airfreight. Multiple classes for marine transportation are presented, as there is a difference in emissions according to vessel type and size.

A small revison to the model has been made.
One of the default buttons was not working properly and the seperate gases macro has been speeded up considerably.
Neither change impacts the results from the model.

A new version of GHGenius 3.16 has been posted. Issues with the electricity conversion from secondary to primary energy on the Energy Balance sheet and the Fish Oil Biodiesel pathways were resolved.
There are minor formatting and labelling changes as well.

A new version of the model has been posted that corrected a couple small issues in version 3.16. In most cases there are no differences in the results between the models.
