"The Government of Canada's Fuel Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Model (hereafter referred to as the Model) is a tool that allows users to calculate the life cycle carbon intensity (CI) of fuels and energy sources produced and used in Canada. The Model is publically available and is intended to inform and reduce the carbon intensity of Canadian fuels. Users of the Model could include industry, academia, LCA practitioners, governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, and other organisations with interest in the energy sector. The Model may also be used in the context of specific programs. … The purpose of this document is to provide users of the Model with technical guidance on how to perform basic operations in the openLCA software that are required for CI calculations"--Page 4.
