Hi,

I am looking at the LCIA methods featured in the exiobase database, specifically at the GWP100 category from the CML 2001 baseline method.

There are only 4 elementary flows listed in this category, even tho there are much more than 4 elementary flows featured in the database that have an effect on global warming (e.g. in the folder elementary flows>emissions to air>unspecified).

Does anybody know the reason why only so few flows are listed in the method, and would it make sense to add the rest of the flows by hand?

This is the method provided by the exiobase consortium to us, but I agree, this looks strange. We'll check.

Edit: indeed, there were many elementary flows from non-combustion, which in the method excel were provided as such (like: "CO2, non combustion") while in the database, these flows are provdided as "from sector xyz" (like: "CO2, non-combusion, from cement manufacturing"), and because of that, these flows were then not automatically recognised.

We released today a new version (exiobase 3.4 version 2) where this should be fixed.

Best wishes,

Andreas
