Error in the validation of the Agribalyse 3.0.1 database

Question

Hello OpenLCA Team,

I imported the Agribalyse 3.0.1 database into my OPENLCA 2.0.3; however, when I try to validate the uploaded database, I encounter multiple errors such as:

• has multiple impact factors in impact category @3749031
• allocation factors do not sum up to 1

Does anyone know how to resolve these errors?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Hi, true, the impact factors are an annoyance but should not affect results, the allocation factors are not exactly 1 in several cases, but close, this is from the original database (which is still done in SimaPro), we take an export in csv format, and we did not correct it to preserve the original state and since it is typically not clear what should be changed to make the factors 1.

(maybe consider using a newer openLCA)
