What’s New?

You can download a CRANE-compatible export of Koi data.

Why Is It Important?

CRANE is a wonderful free resource for assessing impact potential, however, there are many technologies for which it lacks the data. The ability to export data from Koi helps fill that data gap.

How Do I Use It?

• Go to any solution detail’s Datasheet tab.

• Scroll down to Data Exports and click CRANE export.

• In the dialog that appears, click Download to CRANE. This will save a json file that can be uploaded to CRANE as an input file.

• Navigate to CRANE and drag and drop or upload the file as a CRANE-Inputs.json file.

Pro Tip

• You can make additional customizations (e.g. tailoring uncertainty values) to the data directly within CRANE.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the upper and lower bounds look different in CRANE than Koi?

While Koi and CRANE largely use the same methodology to calculate avoided emissions, their applications of uncertainty differ. CRANE uses a more conservative approach that applies uncertainty to the solution intensity and obtainable market prior to calculating unit impact and resulting impact potential. Koi applies the uncertainty calculations after calculating the avoided emissions. In other words, their order of operations differ. This reflects differing theories on how to account for uncertainties in avoided emissions calculations.
