| description | The Agro-Chain Greenhouse Gas Emissions (ACE) calculator is a tool for estimating total greenhouse gas emissions associated to a food product. It addresses the most common stages of ‘linear’ agro-food chains (chains for fresh and simple processed products: canned, frozen, packaged and other minimal processed forms). It combines a calculation framework with datasets containing crops greenhouse gas emission factors and food loss factors along the chain. Combined with user-definition parameters for the product-chain considered, it generates an estimate for greenhouse gas emissions associated to a product when bought by a consumer. The default data that the calculator derives from the dataset may be overruled by the user if more specific data are available; this would make the calculations more case-specific.
The calculator works on a personal computer as well as a mobile phone (both in Microsoft Excel). Full instructions are provided on the first worksheet of the calculator. |

The calculator works on a personal computer as well as a mobile phone (both in Microsoft Excel). Full instructions are provided on the first worksheet of the calculator. Improvements to the calculator in Version 4, May 2021 The user-interface now directly supports the comparison of two scenarios. Differences between the scenarios are highlighted, and the main results are shared on top of the calculator sheet. At the bottom of the calculator sheet, there is now a summary of the climate impacts per chain stage including FLW-associated impacts for both scenarios. Introduction of another method for overriding default data by user-values. Addition of new data, including crop GHG intensities for various crops, specified to countries, from the FAOstat database. 2019-12-16 2019-12-16T14:07:13Z 2019-12-16T14:07:13Z Dataset Manual https://hdl.handle.net/10568/106161 en Open Access application/pdf application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet Broeze J. 2019.
