Webinar: Release of the Environmental Footprint (EF) 3.1 database

Join us in our webinar as we highlight the integration of the Environmental Footprints (EF) database into the openLCA software, the new openLCA Database Analyser and Launcher tool and how to use the EF database in openLCA.
You can download the EF 3.1 database for openLCA here: nexus.openlca.org/database/En...

Hello, I have purchased a license and downloaded the file as a DAL tool. How should I import it into openLCA?

[@Keturah-ez7yx]

Good !

[@learnwithshreya8501]

It cost USD 250 for single use (educational). Is it not free to download?

[@efcarrasco]

You can download all databases from each node. Then, you have to create a new empty database in openLCA and import those databases. All databases needed are shown in the Webinar (time: 14:08). However this is a very very slow method but it is free.

Indeed, and in addition to what efcarasco wrote, you also need to fix quite some points in the datasets

[@efcarrasco]

​@@openLCA, in fact when I try to import EF_3_1_logical_datastock from CEPE, openLCA shows 29 errors and more than 400 warnings. Obviously, this database is not imported. Perhaps a bug?

[@andreasciroth729]

@@efcarrasco maybe the database is imported, with errors, maybe not (depending on how severe they are) but what you describe is what we also tried to explain in the video, which maybe did not come through: the datasets as they are published on the offical sites are not correct.
