Dear All,

I have a question in regards to the LCIA of potassium chloride production.

Why does there is a negative value for natural land transformations in LCIA is case of ReCiPe (H/A).

Thank you very much!

Dear AndaFG,

Thank you for your thread. The negative result is because the method you mention is outdated and not properly taking into account all flows of land transformation and/or occupation. I suggest you use another impact assessment method perhaps the updated ReCiPe.
