Have the impact of a single product: May i create a flow?

Question

Hello, I would just like to have the LCLL ash only or simple LCLL ash in OpenLCA with the Ecoivent database but the product is not in the base, do I have to create a new flow for the product? I only have that the density of the product. It is a product in the form of black / gray ash.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

If the product you want to assess is not in the database, then you should indeed create it as a flow, and you will then also need to create a process that produces this product (using other products, having emissions, ...).
