how to import Ecoinvent database in ecoSpold.7z format

Question

Hello,

I downloaded the ecoinvent database directly from the website, the format is ecoSpold02.7z.

I tried to transform the format into ILCD with the format converter on the OpenLCA website, then import the database in ILCD format but it does not seem to work.

I can't import it into Open LCA, what should I do?

thank you

You will need the files from openLCA Nexus, which we offer for the same price as ecoinvent, and you get the same content as from ecoinvent plus the versions adapted to openLCA. If you have the license from ecoinvent or other sources, you will need to register it in Nexus, for a fee. Thank you for your understanding.
