Switch from one electricity source to Norwegian electricity

Question

Hi! I’m working on a school assignment where I am comparing raw brownies with baked brownies. I have downloaded both Ecoinvent and Agribalyse. I started by creating a process for each of the brownies, where I added each ingredient as a flow and calculated it. We have been told that we need to make additional calculations to make it correct, such as assuming that the brownies were produced in Norway using Norwegian electricity. I can’t find a flow to add for Norwegian electricity — I can only find the process. How am I supposed to do this?

Answer 1

Indeed, there is only a flow for electricity, distinguished by voltage, since this is in the end the product and flow. To model that it is coming from the Norwegian grid, you need to specify the process that provides the electricity, as provider. You can directly drag the process to the inputs of your process, then the provider is entered automatically (or, select it from a probably here quite long drop down list in the provider column).

Good luck!
