Why some flows in EF3.1 database don't have corresponding providers

Question

Hello, I'm trying to use EF3.1 database to do battery LCA study. But for most partly aggregated datasets, the electricity  flows can not find any providers, also the same as thermal energy and transportation flows. So, should I create new processes for these flows by myself to link providers?

Looking forward to your answer, May.

Could you please name the relevant processes? There are indeed some issues arising from the data providers, we raised that point already. However, some of the process might be services processes which are modelled without a specific material
Hope this helps

Yes, the EF database is not perfect, you should indeed try to complete your LCA model by adding processes for these flows, or link to providers.
