Transportation in openLCA using ecoinvent database

Question

Hello!,
Im having doubts using "market for..." as a provider in most of my items in the inventory, because im not sure how it accounts the distance between point A to point B. Does the location row matters at all?, how do you do it?, for example we have some item in the inventory at is has a market for... RoW or CN, the transportation that it utilizes to make the calculation is from which point to what?

Thanks

Answer 1

you can add or adjust the distance for transportation. Row mean rest of the world (non eu)

Im modelling an osmosis reverse plant, the process and the construction of the plant, so its actually a long inventory with different providers, but i think the most accurate way to do it, is by making my own transportation activites as you say.
