Hello,

 

i am currently working on an LCA for a wooden framed building. For that, the carbon uptake and gross calorific value stored in the wood are of interest. But for example in the dataset "glued laminated timber production, for outdoor use" the carbon uptake differs very much from the carbon content of the product (presumably due to the allocation made to create the dataset). According to the corresponding report ("Life Cycle Inventories for Wood as Fuel and Construction material, 2007) and another thread of this forum (https://www.ecoinvent.org/support/ecoinvent-forum/topic.html?&tid=191), allocation correction is supposed to solve the matter. Apparently allocation correction should have been implemented in ecoinvent 3.4 but did that happen ? I could not find it in the reports of the latest versions.

 

Thanks in advance

Christian
