I am working on a project in openLCA using the ecoinvent database and need to enter data for a 500mm ductile iron pipe. The necessary life cycle inventory information for this pipe is available in another database - ozlc2019. How can I utilize the ductile iron pipe data from ozlc2019 in my ecoinvent project in openLCA?
I see two solutions: first you calculate a the results in ozlc2019 database for the ductile iron pipe only then a) either try to export, than import it to ecoinvent or b) create a spreadsheet where you can combine the results of the two calculations. By the way it is not recommended to use separate databases because they might have profound underlying modeling differences which makes the data incompatible. I rather try to remodel the pipe production process in ecoinvent than trying to import something ffrom another database to it...
