Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2014. The latest 2014 statistics on the carbon content of fuels, landfill methane generation distribution (by type of landfill), and landfill gas recovery and flaring rates have been incorporated from EPA's Inventory of U.S. In addition, EPA made regular updates to various factors in the model using current data sources. Each of these pathways use a consistent source for transportation impacts per mile and ton of waste transportation. Additionally, EPA revised the method for calculating energy and emissions from the transportation of materials to landfills, combustors, composting facilities, and anaerobic digesters. WARM also allows the user to model the application of digestate to agricultural soils with or without curing. The anaerobic digestion pathway in WARM includes options for the user to model both a wet or dry digester system.
OPENLCA DATA CONVERTER SOFTWARE
OpenLCA is a free, open-source software for life cycle assessment developed by GreenDelta. Version 15 is also available in a tool based on a database developed in openLCA software. These updates resulted in changes to most emission factors in WARM.
OPENLCA DATA CONVERTER UPDATE
Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Information Administration's (EIA's) 2017 Monthly Energy Review while state electricity grid emission factors were updated based on the 2018 update to the eGRID database. average electricity mix were updated based on the U.S. The non-biogenic carbon content of mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) was updated using annual waste disposal data from EPA's Advancing Sustainable Materials Management: Facts and Figures Fact Sheet. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2016. The latest 2016 statistics on the carbon content of fuels, landfill methane generation distribution (by type of landfill), and landfill gas recovery and flaring rates have been incorporated from EPA's Inventory of U.S. In addition, EPA reorganized the order of materials in WARM and made regular updates to various factors in the model using current data sources. They also include indirect impacts, including the collection, sorting and transportation of a material. The economic impacts include the direct impacts associated with the actual transformation of recyclable materials into marketable products. The update to WARM Version 15 includes economic impacts from employment (labor hours), wages and taxes. Prior to the release of WARM Version 15, WARM did not include potential economic benefits from waste reduction or alternative waste management practices.

Users are still able to access the Excel-Based Tool (xls) OpenLCA database for WARM Version 15 (zip)
OPENLCA DATA CONVERTER WINDOWS
WARM is now available as a tool based on a database developed in openLCA software, with versions available for both Windows and Macintosh users (zip) WARM version 15 was originally released in May 2019 and was updated in November 2020.
