The biogenic carbon balance in the rest of the ecoinvent database should be correct.

Hence, using this method, instead of the regular IPCC GWP method, should not
yield any difference, as long as BECCS are not present and solicited in the database.

The characterization factors for the global warming impact GWP100a of for hydrogen
is taken from [Warwick et al, 2022](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1067144/atmospheric-implications-of-increased-hydrogen-use.pdf).

## Limitation

Only works with ``bw2io 0.8.7`` or earlier (until ecoinvent v.3.8).
Now works with ``bw2io 0.8.7`` and ``bw2io 0.8.8``.
If ``bw2io 0.8.8`` is present, IPCC 2021 methods will be
installed, otherwise IPCC 2013 methods will be installed.
