Please login to access the software download page:
Two versions of the ALU software are available for download, including a) Version 6.0 based on the methods in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, and b) Version 4.5 based on the 1996 IPCC Guidelines and IPCC Good Practice Guidance Documents from 2000 and 2003. Both versions can be used to estimate greenhouse gas emissions and uncertainty for source categories in the Agricultural and LULUCF sectors (also known as the Agriculture Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines). Version 4.5 includes methods to estimate greenhouse gas mitigation potentials, which is anticipated to be included in future releases of version 6.0. Note that databases are not compatible between version 6.0 and 4.5 due to changes in data requirements and methods between the two sets of IPCC guidelines. Please contact the ALU software development team if you have questions
(email: alu@nrel.colostate.edu).
Important! Before attempting to install ALU software, make sure that you have Administrative privileges on your computer, as it will install ALU in the Programs folder. Please see your technical support staff to help you with this if needed. Please download and read the ALU Installation Instructions for more detailed instructions.
