Is it possible to import whole Life Cycle Inventory package

Question

If it is possible to get whole LCI dataset from supplier...is it possible to import that data or enter new flow by manually entering the LCI data into Ecoinvent database / Open LCA software?

Answer 1

Yes sure, if the package comes in the right format? Entering data manually is of course also always possible but takes time etc.

Comments

Excel as such is of course not a format but a table strucutre in excel can rather easily read with Python that you can run in openLCA - manual creation is of course possible and explained here: for processes: https://manuals.openlca.org/openlca/processes/creating_new_process.html, and for flows: https://manuals.openlca.org/openlca/flows/creating_new_flow.html.
