Indicator Descriptions
Source Reliability -- This indicator relates to the quality of the data source and the verification of the data collection methods used within the source.
Data Verification -- Source data that have been verified within error bounds by either the source author (with a high level of transparency) or the LCI modeler. Verification can be done by
measurement, including on-site checking, recalculation, or mass or energy balance analysis. If the source data cannot be verified without making assumptions (i.e., not enough data are
available to close the mass/energy balance), then the score should be a 2 or 3, depending on the number of assumptions. If no source data are available, a qualified estimate from an expert in
the field should receive a score of 4, and an estimate from a non-expert should receive a score of 5. Mostly applicable to primary data.
When the source used for data is a reputable model that does not specifically meet the above criteria, it is the discretion of the modeler to determine the rank of the source. An example for
justification would be if the data have been used in published reports that met the data quality standards.
Data Cross-Check -- The number of sources that verify the same data point or series, within reason. As a general benchmark, a high standard is greater than or equal to three data cross
checks with quality approved sources. This typically refers to primary data, and if no other data sources are available, this can be omitted.
Completeness -- This indicator quantifies the statistical robustness of the source data. This ranking is based on how many data points were taken, how representative the sample is to the studied process, and whether
the data were taken for an acceptable time period to even out normal process fluctuations. The following examples are given to help clarify this indicator.
Temporal Correlation -- This indicator represents how well the time period in which the data were collected corresponds with the year of the study. If the study is set to evaluate the use of a technology from 2000 to
2040, data from 1970 would not be very accurate. It is important when assigning this ranking to take notice of any discrepancies between the year the source was published and the year(s) the data were collected.
Geographical Correlation -- This indicator represents the appropriateness between the region of study and the source data region. This indicator becomes important when comparing data from different countries. For
example, technological advances might reasonably be expected to develop differently in different countries, so efficiency and energy use might be very different. This is also important when looking at best management
practices for carbon mitigation.
Technological Correlation -- This indicator embodies all other differences that may be present between the study goals and the data source. From the above example, using data for a type of biomass that is not being
studied in the LCA should result in a lower technological representativeness ranking.
Steps for Applying DQM
1) Calculate score for each unit process (UP) input. If more than one reference source is used for one input, and the score is lower, consider both scores. If an indicator does not relate to a specific source,
assume N/A. If all emissions come from one source, only one score is needed
- when a score is determined for a particular reference source, add to 'Reference Source Info' for future use
2) From the reference scores, determine the data quality indicator (DQI) for the unit process inputs for commissioning/decommissioning operations (when applicable)*
- the scores are not additive, rather, the lowest score for an indicator of a particular data input is the lowest score for the UP
3) Significant inputs of low quality unit processes (DQI mostly 3-5) should be varied to the minimum and maximum values or 95 percent confidence interval of the uncertainty range.
- check significance first. If the input is not significant by a long shot (or with the maximum possible value), it is not necessary to include in the UP
4) If the change in the final result from a single unit process is greater than a threshold value, for example, 0.1 g CO2e/MJ, then the processes should be flagged for possible additional data quality
refinement
- for example, if emissions from the total steel inputs are found to be significant during sensitivity, the DQI will be performed on the steel profile. If this is not possible (because data are not transparent/purchased), it will
be listed as a future recommendation
- if, however, the steel inputs are significant due to a large amount of steel needed for a particular process, then the DQI on that input should be performed and the data refined if needed
5) If the UP input is significant (with or without sensitivity), but no data refinement is possible, this is listed as a data limitation and noted in the report
Page 12 356850697.xls
* For NETL LCI&C studies, because data quality for construction is typically low, sensitivity on those inputs is already performed and the DQI does not need to be calculated. If
sensitivity is not performed on construction, or sensitivity shows that a particular input is significant, then the DQI will be performed
