ReCiPe midpoint (H)

ReCipe Endpoint (H,A)

Thanks a lot fo the answer.

Answer 1

We take these methods in the ecoinvent LCIA package directly from ecoinvent. On the ecoinvent internal site, you find Bourgault G (2017). Implementation of impact assessment methods in ecoinvent version 3.4, which does not mention ReCiPe; ReCiPe factors are provided by ecoinvent in a general excel sheet without mentioning any version.

We provide more information in our own openLCA method package.
