The 'Guía Práctica de Uso de la Orina en la Producción Agrícola' is a comprehensive guide published by the Stockholm Environment Institute that provides technical, economic, and institutional frameworks for using human urine as a sustainable agricultural fertilizer. It details the nutrient composition of urine, application strategies, risk management based on WHO guidelines, and case studies from various global regions to support the transition toward productive sanitation systems.

This guide provides technical and institutional recommendations for using human urine as a liquid fertilizer in crop production. It details the nutrient composition of urine, application strategies to maximize yield and minimize ammonia loss, and a multi-barrier health risk management approach based on WHO guidelines. The document also offers a framework for developing local guidelines and presents case studies from Sweden, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

This guide, part of the Foundation Course on Air Quality Management in Asia, provides a comprehensive technical framework for developing emissions inventories and implementing control measures for air pollutants. It details the methodologies for quantifying emissions from stationary, area, and mobile sources, evaluates various international software tools for inventory compilation, and describes the physical and chemical processes used to control particulate and gaseous emissions.

The LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning) Volume 2 User Guide provides detailed technical instructions for using a computer-based accounting and simulation tool designed for policy makers to evaluate energy policies and develop sustainable energy plans. The system integrates demand forecasting, energy transformation, biomass resource tracking, and environmental impact assessment into a modular framework for scenario analysis.

This document is a work package guide (Doc No.: 192/E/6, Revision 2) for the inspection and calibration of the Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) at the Ankerlig Power Station. It outlines the safety precautions, required tools, and step-by-step technical procedures for maintaining general equipment and calibrating NO, CO, and SO2 analysers.

This document provides a comprehensive list of debt instruments eligible for certification under version 2.1 of the Climate Bonds Standard. It expands the scope of certification beyond traditional bonds to include various forms of debt, such as loans, commercial paper, and Sukuk, provided they are used for Eligible Projects & Assets.

The 'METHODOLOGY-SDG IQ' (GS4GG PAA M400-06) is a global guide for quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions achieved by replacing operational fossil-fuel-based electricity generators with new renewable energy systems (RES). It emphasizes an 'Integrated Replacement' approach, requiring the permanent decommissioning of fossil-fuel assets and the implementation of a Just Transition Plan to ensure maintained or improved energy access.

This guide explains how to configure fuel economy data for transport analysis within the LEAP software, covering unit selection, aging profiles, and the calculation of stock average fuel economy.

The document is a guide for the 'Constants' menu option within a software tool, explaining how to use and manage constant values in expressions.

This guide explains how to configure and vary Integrated Benefits Calculator (IBC) methods within LEAP scenarios, specifically regarding health impact functions, particulate matter scaling, and background emission scenarios.

This guide explains how to reference data variables, results variables, fuel variables, and constants within expressions in the LEAP software to create models with both exogenous and endogenous variables.

The 'Renewable Qualified' variable in optimization-based scenarios specifies the percentage of a process's output (from 0% to 100%) that is considered renewable, used alongside the module-level 'Renewable Target' variable.

This guide explains how to specify and manage auxiliary fuels within the LEAP (Low Emissions Analysis Platform) transformation processes, distinguishing them from feedstock fuels and detailing how to handle 'own use' consumption and feedback flows.

This guide explains how the LEAP software calculates and displays useful energy demand, distinguishing it from final energy demand based on device efficiency and losses.

This guide explains the 'Minimum Share of Production' variable within the Stockholm Environment Institute's energy-system-optimization tools, which ensures a specific process supplies at least a defined percentage of a fuel's total annual production regardless of cost.

This guide describes the 'Transformation analysis' functionality within the LEAP software, which simulates the conversion and transportation of energy from primary resource extraction and imports to final consumption.

This guide provides a step-by-step procedure for configuring optimization modeling within the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP), specifically focusing on the integration of the NEMO framework and various solvers to calculate optimal capacity expansion pathways.

This guide describes the Cost-Benefit Reports feature within the LEAP software, explaining how it provides a comparative overview of incremental cumulative costs and benefits across different scenarios relative to a reference baseline.

This guide explains how to specify up to three pollution control technologies, such as SOx scrubbers or particulate filters, when providing environmental data for energy technologies in the TED system.

This guide from the Stockholm Environment Institute explains the three methods for specifying process efficiency data within the LEAP software: percentage efficiency, heat rate, and percentage energy losses.
