Maps the new FEDEFL biogenic flowables onto TRACI 2.1/2.2, IPCC, ReCiPe 2016, and ImpactWorld+. ConversionFactor here is the mapping multiplier (0 = no GWP, 1 = full, -1 = sequestration).

Where a method splits fossil vs non-fossil methane, generic FEDEFL Methane is pointed at the fossil source. Carbon monoxide is only added where the method has CO (TRACI smog; IW climate/POF). IPCC and ReCiPe have no CO.

Sequestration (Carbon dioxide, to soil or biomass stock) is ground-only in the flow list. lcia_mapping.attach_air_co2_to_ground_sequestration attaches method air CO2 to FEDEFL emission/ground* so GWP -1 still applies.

New FEDEFL targets by method

FEDEFL target Contexts TRACI IPCC ReCiPe ImpactWorld+
Carbon dioxide, biogenic emission/air (17–18) CARBON DIOXIDE × 0 Carbon dioxide × 0 Carbon dioxide × 0 Carbon dioxide, biogenic × 1 (IW climate CF already 0)
Carbon dioxide, land use emission/air (17–18) CARBON DIOXIDE × 1 Carbon dioxide × 1 Carbon dioxide × 1 Carbon dioxide, land transformation × 1
Carbon dioxide, to soil or biomass stock emission/ground (21) CARBON DIOXIDE × -1 Carbon dioxide × -1 Carbon dioxide × -1 Carbon dioxide × -1
Methane, biogenic emission/air (17–18) METHANE × 1 Methane (non-fossil) × 1 Methane (non-fossil) × 1 Methane, biogenic × 1
Methane, land use emission/air (17–18) METHANE × 1 Methane (non-fossil) × 1 Methane (non-fossil) × 1 Methane, biogenic × 1
Carbon monoxide, biogenic emission/air (17–18) CARBON MONOXIDE × 1 (smog) Carbon monoxide, biogenic × 1
Carbon monoxide, land use emission/air (17–18) CARBON MONOXIDE × 1 (smog) Carbon monoxide, biogenic × 1

Also: ConversionFactor column added on IPCC and ReCiPe mapping inputs (mapped rows 1); TRACI 2.1 mapping file re-sorted with no mapping-content change. Both lead to lots of false diffs.
