Differences between openLCA LCIA methods v.2.0.4 and v.2.0.5

Question

Hello,

Can you explain why in LCIA methods v.2.0.5 the value of “land use” and “water scarcity” is quite different from LCIA methods v.2.0.4.

For example:

“market for polyurethane, flexible foam”

v.2.0.4

Water scarcity – 5.15 m3 depriv.

v.2.0.5

Water scarcity – 116.11 m3 depriv.

Thank you,

Patrícia Costa
