How to import ecoinvent dataset

Question

My company has already purchased a licence for the ecoinvent dataset (version 3.11) from ecoinvent.org. I would now like to import this dataset into openLCA, but unfortunately, I cannot find any instructions on how to integrate the data to openLCA.

How can I export the dataset from ecoinvent and import it to open LCA?
Where can I find some step by step instructions?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to register your license in openLCA nexus then (for a fee) to obtain the ecoinvent files.It is better to buy the license directly from us (next time, or future maintenance for a perpetual license), you will get both full ecoinvent.org access and the openLCA files, and it is cheaper than from ecoinvent.

Best wishes,
