How to import LCIA methods?

Question

Hi! I`m new to openLCA and was wondering how can I import LCIA methods. I have downloaded the free "openLCA LCIA methods" pack, but somehow it shows up as a database in the program.

Answer 1

Hi and welcome,
this is correct, you can import this database (as any other database) into another openLCA database, or vice versa, via file/import/import entire database. For some databases, like ecoinvent or Agri-footprint, we are providing the LCIA methods in the database therefore the import is not needed when you use one of these databases.
Best wishes,
Andreas

Ah good. To combine both database contents, import one database into the other; open the database you want to import into, then select file, import, import entire database, and you can select files (zolca) and databases already in openLCA.
