I have edited my previous question:
Hello,
I suspect there is an error in the dataset „treatment of municipal solid waste, incineration | electricity, for reuse in municipal waste incineration only | Cutoff, U – DE“:
Starting from the „ecoinvent_371_cutoff_unit_20210104“ Unit-Dataset:
“market for electricity, medium voltage | electricity, medium voltage | Cutoff, U – DE”
there is a link back to the Dataset:
“electricity, from municipal waste incineration to generic market for electricity, medium voltage | electricity, medium voltage | Cutoff, U – DE”
with the 1:1 link back to
“market for electricity, for reuse in municipal waste incineration only | electricity, for reuse in municipal waste incineration only | Cutoff, U – DE”
with the 1:1 link back to
“treatment of municipal solid waste, incineration | electricity, for reuse in municipal waste incineration only | Cutoff, U – DE”
However, this dataset then contains no inputs and cannot be analyzed in openLCA 1.10.3.
Consequently, due to the 1:1 backlinking, in ecoinvent_371_cutoff_lci_20210104 the 3 Dataset then contains also no inputs and cannot be analyzed in openLCA 1.10.3.
“electricity, from municipal waste incineration to generic market for electricity, medium voltage | electricity, medium voltage | Cutoff, U – DE”
“market for electricity, for reuse in municipal waste incineration only | electricity, for reuse in municipal waste incineration only | Cutoff, U – DE”
“treatment of municipal solid waste, incineration | electricity, for reuse in municipal waste incineration only | Cutoff, U – DE”
ecoQuery: in the lci and lcia view of the listed datasets there are also no inputs, outputs or indicator values. Therefore, I suspect there is an error in the original ecoinvent database. However, it seems that this only affects the cut-off system model. Results are available for the APOS and consequential system models.
However, for the data set "electricity, from municipal waste incineration to generic market for electricity, medium voltage, CH" for Switzerland, data are available in the cut-off system model. Then they should also be available in the data set for Germany (DE). So it is more a question to ecoinvent than to the openLCA community.
Would you agree or am I overlooking something?
Many thanks and best regards
