Hi
On the European Platform on LCA webpage(https://eplca.jrc.ec.europa.eu/LCDN/developerILCD.html), I downloaded ES2_to_CLCD.xlsx(https://eplca.jrc.ec.europa.eu/uploads/Mapping_ES2ILCD.xlsx) and saw that the creator of this file is GreenDelta GmbH 2015 and JRC, so I hope to find some help here.

The description of this file is a useful mapping file from Ecoinvest to ELCD. Then I made this xlsx file into a CSV file and tried to use the mapping function of openLCA to convert ecoinvest 3.11 to ELCD.

However, when calculating climate change indicators after conversion, there was a significant difference from the original dataset.

 I found that this problem was caused by mapping ecoinvest's "Carbon dioxide, from soil or biomass stock"(e4e9febc-07c1-403d-8d3a-6707bb4d96e6) and "Carbon dioxide, non fossil"(eba59fd6-f37e-41dc-9ca3-c7ea22d602c7) to ILCD's "carbon dioxide (biogenic)"(08a91e70-3ddc-11dd-9c15-0050c2490048) in the ES2_to_CLCD.xlsx file.

However, according to some ecoinvest vendors' documentation(https://19913970.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/19913970/Version%20Releases/3.10.1/LCIA%20implementation%203.10.1.pdf), "Carbon dioxide, from soil or biomass stock" is used to characterize emissions from land use change.

Therefore, we'd like to check should "Carbon dioxide, from soil or biomass stock" be mapped to "carbon dioxide (land use change)"(adcb79f3-89cf-45fb-b0b2-65558cb2af26) in ILCD

I hope all database vendors can use the same set of elementary flow, so that I don't have to worry about database compatibility

Thanks
