Some activities are missing from Ecoinvent database

Question

Hi, I previously used Umberto software and Ecoinvent database. I recently started using openLCA. Some activities seem to be missing in Ecoinvent database when using it with openLCA. Examples include copper production. I can find relevant activities in Ecoinvent website but they don't appear in openLCA. I'm using Ecoinvent 3.11 cutoff.

------------------

After posting this, I found that copper, cathode is used in relevant cable production process and decided to use it. Also, the discrepancy on activity availability was resolved after I updated database version at the bottom of the ecoinvent website (this wasn't clear). I hope this is useful for other people who may run into the same issue.

Thank you.

Ok! So no activities are missing, is that what you are saying? I would be quite surprised, since we really provide the entire database, with all processes. Thank you.
