Abstract

Datasets concerning the European electricity mix, built employing the Ecoinvent database v.3.3 processes, are reported in this paper. Foreseen future scenarios are modelled based on acknowledged projections for energy market in Europe in 2050. These electricity mix data inventories could be useful for any academic or stakeholder interested in performing long-term prospective assessment of innovative generation technologies in the future European energy market.
