Understanding Ecoinvent Entries

Metadata for Ecoinvent processes are available for free online at ecoinvent.org. Create a guest account, then use their ecoQuery service to get dataset details.

Curious to hear your takeaways from the investigation and your thoughts on the data’s applicability. In my opinion, the use of Ecoinvent data in wbLCA is probably worthy of a bit more skepticism. It can be useful as background data, but we are often using it to model the foreground system. And the provenance of the data is sometimes hard to understand in both Gabi (behind Tally) and OneClick.
