The openLCA team has updated the ecoinvent 3.1 files and made them available on openLCA Nexus. In the former versions, it was not possible to compile system and unit processes in a single database, but now that is possible. Plus, the product flow reference IDs have been harmonized between the different system models. What does that mean? Well, now the three different ecoinvent system models (allocation, consequential and cut-off) can also be imported to one database.

More improvements for using ecoinvent in openLCA coming soon.
