Agribalyse version 3.1.1 can now be found for download in openLCA Nexus: https://nexus.openlca.org/database/Agribalyse.
The implementation to openLCA is explained in a document on the same page: /wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AGRIBALYSE_v_3_1_1_Report.pdf
Agribalyse is to be used with the openLCA LCIA Method Package, specifically it is recommended by Ademe to use the EF 3.1 LCIA Method. The database can be merged with other databases for openLCA that also use the openLCA Method Package. More documentation on usage can also be accessed through the Nexus page.
Be aware that, since last year, the database is dependent on a valid ecoinvent for openLCA licence.
