Is it possible to import an entire simapro database?

Question

Apologies if this has been answered before/in documentation!

There's a niche EEIO database only available for simapro currently and I was wondering if I purchase it, is there a way to use it within openLCA?

I read here on another question that the Simapro CSV import functionality is only for processes rather than databases.

Answer 1

Hi Stefan,

the csv is for processes so far but you can export every process from a SimaPro database in one csv, in one go, and then import this into openLCA. Let me know if you run into any issues. Also, if you can tell the name of the database, I'd be interested.

Thank you!

Andreas

Ah that's a shame, I don't have access to simapro to export it! Thanks regardless for taking the time to answer.

The db in question is this one: https://www.lifecycles.com.au/australian-io-database
