Environmental footprint of Internet consumption

Description

Repository to share the code used in the scientific article Istrate et al. The environmental sustainability of digital content consumption. Nat Commun 15, 3724 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-47621-w. The repository contains data files and tailored notebooks to create the LCI database and reproduce the results presented in the article.

The data folder includes: - LCI_Digital-Content-Consumption.xlsx inventory data in a suitable format to be imported into Brightway2 - LCIA_Carrying-Capacities.xlsx per capita Earth's carrying capacity for 16 impact categories (only for results analysis) - Sensitivity-Analysis-Carbon-Budgets.xlsx different carbon budgets used for sensitivity analysis (only for results analysis) - Sensitivity-Analysis-LCI-for-Presamples.xlsx inventory data sensitivity analysis in a suitable format to be used with presamples (only for results analysis) - Soil-Erosion-Potential_CFs_LANCA_v2.5.xlsx characterization factors from the updated LANCA model for land use impact assessment (there is a notebook to update this as well as other methods)

The notebooks folder includes: - 00_Project_setup.ipynb creates a new BW2 project, imports the biosphere and ecoinvent databases, creates the prospective databases using premise, and creates/updates some LCIA methods that are used for results analysis but which are not available by default (i.e., in the biosphere3 database compatible with ecoinvent 3.8). - 01_Create_LCI_databases.ipynb creates default and prospective LCI databases for digital content consumption based on the inventory data file. - 02_LCA_results_analysis.ipynb produces the results and figures presented in the scientific article. - _Functions_to_create_database.ipynb and _Functions_for_results_analysis.ipynb contain all the necessary functions to run the previous notebooks (you do not need to run these notebooks)

Usage

To ensure the replication of the results presented in the article, it is highly recommended starting a new environment and installing the requirements.txt. To do this, run the following lines of code:

conda create -n ef_internet python==3.10.2 conda activate ef_internet cd your/repository pip install -r requirements.txt

Once in the new environment, run the notebooks following the order described above. Further details are provided in the corresponding notebooks
