Hi,
I have never used OpenLCA before but have been tasked with conducting a life cycle analysis analysing the CO2e emissions of a proposed first-of-its-kind commercial plant. A lot of the materials are very specific, so I chose to simply create my own database rather than import one. I have inputted all my flows and built my product system, however I am unsure where to plug in the emissions data. When I watch the tutorial videos, they seem to just pick their desired flows from an imported database, build their product system, and hit 'calculate', which gives lots of nice charts analysing all sorts of things.
I have created an emissions Impact Category and I have my Product System, but when I click 'calculate' I get weird one-component charts- which is to be expected, as I know for a fact that the software does not yet know the emissions which will come from each flow. I am happy to manually input that data, I just cannot for the life of me figure out where I should be putting it so that it will be included in the calculations. The best I've come up with is that maybe I should enter it as an additional Flow Property?
I am using OpenLCA 2.0.3
Any help would be much appreciated :)
