ProBas-Database CO2
Posted: 30 Jan 2015 21:26
Hello,
I have the following problem:
I used the ProBas-Database from Nexus to calculate the Environmental Performance of a T-Shirt. When I calculate this, for example with CML2001, I get as a result something like 3.2 kg CO2 eq, but when according into ProBas web database and the Process in Openlca I should get something like 12 kg CO2 eq. So after a long searching for an answer I found the explanation. In CO2-flow in the Probas-Prozesses has the name "CO2", but this flow is not include in one of the impact methods available in this database. CO2 is always include with names "Carbon dioxide". So why is that so?
I hope the problem is understandable, feel free to ask questions.
