Is it possible to differentiate background processes and foreground processes on OpenLCA?

Question

Hello everyone,

I created a product system and I would like to find out which process contributes more to global warming. So I ran the calculation and the results say that the process that contributes more to global warming is energy production. But energy production is a background process. I would like to find out which foreground process contributes more to global warming, including the energy they consume (and contributions from other background processes). How to go about that?

You can group processes in your LCIA result. Create a group and move all your foreground processes into that group. This will give you results separated by foreground and background processes.
