Use of EF3.1 based datasets

Question

Hello,

I can't calculate the datasets released by database EF3.1 with another calculation method, for example openLCA - EF 3.1 Method (adapted) or openLCA - Ecological Footprint?

And where can I download the Environmetal footprint 3.1 calculation method? I can't export from databse EF3.1.

Thank you.

Hi Patrícia,

well you can of course export the method and impact categories from the EF3.1 database (as JSON-LD, e.g.) but they are, on purpose by the EC, not meant to be used with other databases and flow reference systems thus this does not really help. We just reuploaded the EF3.1 method adapted to the openLCA flow reference system (check in Nexus), if you are "only" after the LCIA method.

All the best,

Andreas

Comments

Hello,
When I export a dataset from the EF3.1 database and import it into another database, the calculation is always zero.
Why is this?
Is there a specific way to export datasets from database EF3.1?


Thank you.
