Renewable energy mix EU 2030

Question

Hello!

I would like to know how to create a new category : renewable energy mix EU2030,  in order to make a sensitivity assessment of European electricity mix in 2030: 50% renw/ 50% fossil sources.

How should I model it? What processes should I choose for wind onshore/offshore, solar, geothermal etc?

Thank you so much in advance!!!

Best regards,

Blanca

I don't understand, an LCIA category, or just a category for classifying processes? The latter would not affect the calculation..

Hello!

An input process. For example: I have the electricty mix from Germany from ecoinvent, and data is from 2014. But I want to model it with data from electricity mix of year 2020, or 2030. How can it be done? Can I modify a process?

Thank you!

Hi Blanca,

thank you for your further explanation - you can of course edit and change an existing unit process. To do this, ideally make a copy of the process, paste it into a specific folder in your process category tree, and edit this copy.

You can then of course also rename the process etc. Then use this process in your product system.

Best wishes,

Andreas
