The main goal for the project is to conduct a comparative analysis of carbon calculators and GHG models available for use in Canadian agriculture, with a specific focus on those being used to estimate scope 3 emissions. The project will involve:

- Researching and identifying the various carbon calculators and GHG models available in the market.

- Analyzing the limitations and underlying assumptions of each calculator and model.

- Focusing on the ones being used in Canadian agriculture to estimate scope 3 emissions.

- Articulating the limitations and underlying assumptions of the selected calculators and models.

The tasks that learners will need to complete to achieve the project goal include:

- Researching and compiling a comprehensive list of carbon calculators and GHG models available.

- Conducting a detailed analysis of the limitations and underlying assumptions of each calculator and model.

- Selecting the calculators and models being used in Canadian agriculture for further in-depth study.

- Articulating the limitations and underlying assumptions of the selected calculators and models in a clear and concise manner.

Final deliverables should include:

- A detailed report outlining the comparative analysis of the selected carbon calculators and GHG models.

- Clear articulation of the limitations and underlying assumptions of each calculator and model.

- Recommendations for the most suitable carbon calculators and GHG models for estimating scope 3 emissions in Canadian agriculture.

The project will kick off with a 2 hour orientation with the Executive Director and Chief Scientist of the project team. Mid-way through the first week we will have a check in call. These will be twice a week until the project is complete. Supervisors will be available via email. A perlimary list of calculators and models will be provided along with background reading.
