I wonder if the markets datasets in the lcia-cumulated-matrices_xls file are aggregate datasets; that is, do they contain the impact generated by all inputs from raw material extraction for the reference product?
Are all the datasets in the lcia-cumulated-matrices_xls file aggregated regardless of whether they are markets or not?
Dear Chris,
Thank you for question.
The excel file with the LCIA cumulated matrices contains aggregate data, linked to all processes included in their supply chains. All the datasets are aggregated, no matter if they are transforming activities, treatment activities or markers.
