Dataset on the life cycle carbon emission in Kenyan, Rwandan, and Tanzanian grid electricity generation and transmission systems

This data attempts to answer the following research questions. First, to what extent are grid electricity generation and transmission system drivers designed and operated according to environmental governance factors? Second, what would the impacts on the lifetime decarbonisation performances of the generation and transmission systems be from considering environmental governance factors? Data was collected and estimated using the developed life-cycle carbon emission inventory (LCCEI) algorithm implemented through Excel tabs (LCCEI worksheets). The data was acquired through the LCCEI modelled parameters. The compiled data can also be customised and coded to commonly used evaluation software to enhance its open use by scientists, practitioners, and policymakers at national, regional and global levels.
