EFU‑Carbon License v1.0

Description

The EFU‑Carbon License v1.0 defines the legal and practical conditions for using the EFU‑Carbon framework, including the EFU‑based Carbon Flux Table, the EFU Carbon Standard v1.0, the EFU Audit Layer and EFU‑Scope integration documents, and all methodological materials explicitly published under the EFU‑Carbon name. 

EFU Standard Collection v1.0 is an independent, self‑funded research framework and thought experiment developed through volunteer work. Its aim is to express resource use (energy, water, materials, gases, entropy) in human metabolic equivalents using EFU (Equivalent Flux Units), translating technical indicators such as tonnes, joules, and cubic metres into human‑scale metrics. The collection brings together multiple, mutually consistent sub‑standards (e.g. EFU‑C, EFU‑N, EFU‑P, EFU‑H₂O, EFU‑E, EFU‑S) calibrated against FAO/WHO/UNU metabolic data. EFU is not a legal standard and does not impose any mandatory requirements; it is a completed first‑phase research project, openly shared to raise awareness and invite collaboration on more human‑centred approaches to planetary resource accounting.
