LCIA results from ELCD III
Posted: 04 Nov 2013 11:57
Hi,
as a openLCA a beginner (I usually use GaBi5) I have a question.
I have a problem with the LCIA results of the ELCD3 database.
For example:
The LCIA results from the process "Electricity mix, consumption mix, at consumer, AC, 230V (DE)" for 3.6 MJ are GWP 100a = 0.00834 kg CO2-Eq.
The process itself has an output flow from 0.672 kg Carbon Dioxide. The LCIA results should be much higher.
I can not find my mistake. Here are my steps:
1. install OpenLCA 1.3.2 on a Windows 7 Prof. 32Bit-system
2. Create new Database
3. Import “impact-methods.zip” from http://www.openlca.org/download_page#LCIA_methods
4. install openLCA nexus plugin
5. import “ELCD.nexuspack”
6. Create a new Product system with the Reference process „Electricity Mix, consumption mix, at consumer, AC, 230V (DE)“
7. and calculate with the LCIA method CML 2001
Did I forget something?
greetings
