Hello LCA student here,
(1)How the following excel file is made by OpenLCA software?
https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-12/traci_2_1_2014_dec_10_0.xlsx
I guess this is not a region-specific data excel file
(2)How can I export this file as region-specific data?
(3)If it is not possible with manually in the software, can it be possible with openLCA Java API?
Hi, the file you are pointing to is a data file produced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is not specific to openLCA. You can find versions of TRACI 2.1 that are compatible with openLCA on the openLCA Nexus or at the Federal LCA Commons.
TRACI 2.1 does not have regionalized impact assessment, though the more recent version, TRACI 2.2 does have regionalized data for eutrophication.

Similarly, TRACI 2.2 is also available both on the openLCA Nexus and the Federal LCA Commons
