EXIOBASE 3 is the culmination of work in the FP7 DESIRE project (www.fp7desire.eu) and builds upon earlier work on EXIOBASE 2 in the FP7 CREEA projected (www.creea.eu) and the FP6 EXIOPOL project.
The data has aggregated energy and material accounts because of licensing issues with the IEA.
Documentation:
The main data documentation is described here
This corresponds to version 3.4 of the data for the time series 1995-2011.
There was an earlier release of the data for v3.3 – for some uses, e.g. energy, emissions and material accounting, the data is valid.
However, care should be taken in the water and land use accounts. There were major differences that were corrected in v3.4, and a public release of data for v3.3 will not be made available. Depending on research questions, the data may be impacted.
We also have estimates based on trade and macro-economic data up to 2015/6 as well, however, a lot of care must be taken in use of this data. It is not suitable for analysing trends over time. The basic description of the process employed is in the relevant deliverable:
The data here has different end-dates for the environmental extensions (2011 energy, 2015 CO2 fuel combustion, 2013 material, 2011 most others, incl methane and N20, land, water), and is not part of the main public release. Some work is going on to update these, but other collaborative efforts are more than welcome.
More specific updates for each environmental extension will be provided in relevant publications.
We are continually updating the data behind EXIOBASE with a rolling release cycle. Hence more feedback that is given, the greater the chance of improvements in future updates!
Stay tuned for announcements:
Energy & emission accounts
Energy and Emission accounts are based on the IEA energy balances, but are not always fully consistent with the monetary IO tables (different data sources was used in the disaggregation of the energy accounts) – this does lead to some minor discrepancies in relationships between energy flows and monetary flows. Some efforts are ongoing to fix these.
Household use of energy – this is available in disaggregated form (by EXIOBASE product), but is auxiliary to the main MRIO dataset, as it does not fit that data structure. Similar case for fuel combustion emissions.
