Issues implementing US LCI with Brightway2
Hello! I work for NREL and I am trying to import the US LCI database to the open source LCA tool Brightway2. The program needs EcoSpold version for it to work, so I used the latest EcoSpold version.
Investigating the EcoSpold file, it seems that the conversion lost the 'Energy, at grid' specific details in the name. For example, 'Electricity, at Grid, SPP, 2010 - RNA' appears as 'Electricity, at grid' in the .xml file. Is this an OpenLCA error? Is there a way to circumvent this?
As said in the documentation, I am aware of the OpenLCA data loss, however, this format change seems pretty specific only for the 22: Utilities, 2211: Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution 'Electricity, at grid' so there might be a way to fix this?
I know this is a very long question, I would appreciate a person of contact to maybe set up a meeting and check my options to implement USLCI into Brightway2.
Thank you!
