Results interpretation
Posted: 04 May 2012 18:33
Hi,
I would like to use OpenLCA in my thesis, in order to improve my ability I've made a very easy example (I used a lot of assumptions). In this example I assessed a pencil production.
I attach two files to explain my doubts (for the translation English → Italian: pencil = matita, lead = mina, production = produzione).
I'm a beginner and I need some help to understand the output!
In the first image “energy-cumulation.jpg” I really can't understand why the amount of the non renewable energy resource fossil is “0”, it is not possible because we are using electricity mix production (as you can see in “scheme.jpg”). It embodies the thermoelectric energy and the nuclear energy. Maybe the are some mistakes in my example.
Another point that I didn't understand is (see “scheme.jpg”): why are the outputs in Electricity mix and in Pine wood the same? Maybe they are not all the real outputs and the software links only what it needs (that are the real output). But why are only these items displayed there? The database is full of them.
I hope that you could help me! And I'm sorry if the questions are elementary.
Bye-Bye
