Is openlca 1.8 compatible with the version 2 of ecoinvent ( freecharge version)

Question

I'm building the olca-app code source with the last version 1.8 and i wanna use a free charge version of ecoinvent (version 2 for example). Is it possible?

Comments

I'm interested in learning OpenLCA, therefore I'd like to use the free charge version of ecoinvent. Can you send me links to this free database ? Thanks!

Answer 1

openLCA is only fully compatible with the ecoinvent databases from https://nexus.openLCA.org I do not see a free ecoinvent data base there. Anyway, yes, openLCA 1.8 is compatible with ecoinvent 2. The files on nexus however, have been prepared for openLCA 1.4/1.5 and you may have to run a database update which openLCA does automatically.
