Significant difference between RIVM ReCiPe and OpenLCA normalization values

Question

Hello OpenLCA community, 

I would like to tell you that trying to find a method to use a single score for ACV in OpenLCA I found a difference between the normalization values of ReCiPe (H) Endpoint (LCIA Methods 2.4.0) and the values published by RIVM in their official normalization values file.

I would like to know please why this difference exists and also how I could get a single score from the OpenLCA data structure.

Thank you very much in advance

Answer 1

Thank you for this feedback, indeed we have investigated and updated the ReCiPe normalization values. Please find them in v2.4.2 of the openLCA LCIA Method package here.
