Does openLCA's Monte Carlo analysis consider the pedigree uncertainty?

Question

I input the ecoinvent pedigree uncertainty for each process that I added to my system in openLCA. Does openLCA's Monte Carlo analysis also consider this pedigree uncertainty in its calculations?

Answer 1

The Monte Carlo simulation only looks at the uncertainty in the exchanges, but you can transfer the uncertainty from the pedigree to the exchanges.

edit: you transfer the uncertainty like this:

You can also do this via sql but it's a bit complicated.

Comments

Thank you! How can I transfer the pedigree uncertainty to the exchanges? Would I need to go through and manually rate the uncertainty of each input/output or is there a better way to do it?
