ILCD 2.0 documentation

Written on: 16.09.2019#1

Dear ecoinvent staff,

I am trying to get information on the ILCD 2.0 methods that are implemented in ecoinvent 3.5. For example, I cannot find anything on the methodology used for the new land use indicator. In ILCD 1.0.8, the unit was kg Soil Organic Carbon in accordance with the ILCD Handbook. In ILCD 2.0, the unit changed to "points" and the values are different than before. However, the ILCD documentation on the JRC website was not updated. How can I interpret the new values? Can you point me to the right document?

Best regards

Ben

I found the documentation after a long search. ILCD 2.0 is the same as EF 2.0. Hence, the documentation can be found under the keyword EF, not ILCD:
