I have an LCI inventory in excel that is originally linked to the ecoinvent 3.4 cut-off database. When I import it, I get no unlinked exchanges.
Now, I would like to switch and link it to the ecoinvent 3.4 consequential database.
for k, fp in {"LCI": "lci.xlsx"}.items():
if k not in databases:
imp = ExcelImporter(fp)
imp.apply_strategies()
imp.match_database(fields=["name", "unit", "location"])
imp.match_database('ecoinvent_conseq', fields=["reference product", "name", "unit", "location"])
imp.match_database('ecoinvent_conseq', fields=["name", "unit", "location"])
imp.statistics()
imp.write_excel()
imp.write_database()
database = Database('LCI')
For multi-output processes where there is a change in the reference product, I know why it does not get linked.
In some cases, the matching is not working even though the name, the location and the unit of the dataset are provided.
The matching works with these fields when I use the cut-off db but it does not with the consequential db.
What would be the reasons why these exchanges remain unlinked when switching to a consequential db?
Thank you !
