Ecoinvent 3.10 import

Closed this issue · 14 comments

Updating AB

  • Yes, I have updated AB and still experience this issue

What happened?

Even after the last update, I am not able to download ecoinvent 3.10 (the latest I can download is ecoinvent 3.9.1), from the Database Import Wizard, when importing from ecoinvent online directly. I believe the issue is that it puts 3.10 as an older version than the rest (since it starts with 1 and not 9), and hence it does not appear in the scroll-out options.

I am quite bad with coding unfortunately so I do not understand what the latest update of Activity-Browser, 3 weeks ago, did in order to solve this issue.

I tried updating everything several times but it did not help unfortunately.

Hi @dvivas-eth,

Right now it's only possible to install ecoinvent 3.10 into a new project through the setup project wizard. You cannot download ecoinvent 3.10 into an existing project because the biosphere version will not match and there is no way to patch right now.

Kind regards,

Marin

Also, on further inspection I see that you're still running 2.9.7. You can't update like usual because your environment is using Python 3.9, which isn't supported bij Activity Browser 2.10. Please update using the following commands instead:

conda create -n ab -c conda-forge --solver libmamba activity-browser

And confirm when the updater asks you if you want to overwrite your environment.

This will overwrite the old environment, but your projects and other data will be untouched.

Kind regards,

Marin

Dear Marin, that is also for me very helpful, I managed to upgrade to Activity-browser 2.10 and import Eco-Invent 3.10. Now the question I have is: How can I now import into my new project (which uses EcoInvent 3.10) my former own database which I created in Activity-browser 2.9.7? I have database back-ups as brightway2 file
AB 2.10 import of own database trouble shoot.docx
and as xlsx-file. but when I try to import one of these files, AB runs idle.
Uploading AB 2.10 import of own database trouble shoot.docx…

Hi @LetinoisU

I don't see a direct error related to this in your file. Are you sure you are giving it enough time? Importing a database may take some time.

Kind regards,

Marin

Hi @LetinoisU,

Quick message to let you know that replying to a GitHub thread is public, even if you reply via e-mail: #1318 (comment)

You can mail me at: m.r.visscher@cml.leidenuniv.nl if you want to share something non-publicly

Kind regards,

Hello,
I am a beginner in Brightway and activity browser, I am trying to import the ecoinvent database into Activity Browser but have yet to succeed. I have made sure that my Activity Browseer is the newest version 2.10. From the posts I have gathered the problem of compatibility of Activity Browser with EcoInvent 3.10 is already solved?

I have the Ecoinvent 3.10 as .ecospold 2 and .xlsx file format stored in the network (so not local computer). I have tried different ways in importing the database, like downloading the files to my local computer in .7z or .zip format.

Can anyone please tell me how to proceed? Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi @KellyC-IBP ,

Do you get any errors in the terminal (the black screen with the text)? That would be very helpful for us to diagnose what's going wrong.

Kind regards,

Marin

This may well be related to #1321 by the way. Right now importing the .z7 directly is broken, but unpacking the file first and then importing should work as usual.

Hi,
Turns out my initial problem was that I chose the wrong file for ecoinvent (the larger '_lci_ecospold2' one)

I am encountering the same problem as above mentioned when I try to import EcoInvent 3.10 into my project.

When I create a new project, I always have to import biosphere 3 first ('set up your project with default data'), how can I get around this problem?

Thanks!

Okay, right, I should've seen this coming.

At this moment, you cannot install only the biosphere3 for ecoinvent 3.10 through the Activity Browser. In technical terms: it is not available in bw2io as a direct install, and can only be installed through the ecoinvent_interface library, which will download it directly for you from the ecoinvent servers.

This means the following for you: the only way to install the right version of biosphere3, with the right methods, that is compatible with ecoinvent 3.10 is through the project setup wizard. In there you can choose to setup your project with ecoinvent 3.10 after you've logged in with your ecoinvent credentials.

This setup is still quite slow, so hang in there. But it should setup your project with everything you need.

Kind regards,

Marin

Hi Marin,

thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately I do not have ecoinvent login credentials, but I have .ecospold2 files in the server.

I also tried to import EcoInvent 3.10 to Brightway25, but there are many unlinked exchanges. The solutions to this also suggested using EcoInvent credentials. I am quite confused right now regarding the different options of Activity Browser, Brightway 2 and Brightway 25 and the individual issues they have with EcoInvent 3.10.

Can you help me on deciding which option to go for and how to proceed more smoothly?
Just to be clear on my situation again:

Have:

  • EcoInvent 3.10 as .ecospold2 and .xlsx files on local server
  • EcoInvent 3.91 as .Zolca

Don't have:

  • EcoInvent credentials
  • Older versions (e.g. 3.9) of EcoInvent in .ecospold2 format

Thank you so much for your support
Best,
Kelly

Hi @KellyC-IBP ,

The situation is indeed confusing right now, this is something we'll need to work on. Having the credentials would make the process a lot easier. Not having them means you're going to have to write your own Python code to do this.

What you need

First things first, you'll need to at least have: the EcoInvent 3.10 ecospold2 .7z that contains both the datasets and MasterData folders, and the LCIA Implementation file (excel), that contains the EcoInvent 3.10 methods.

Importing databases

Importing the biosphere and ecoinvent databases is doable, you can use the Ecospold2BiosphereImporter and SingleOutputEcospold2Importer that are part of bw2io. Point them to the right files/folders of your unpacked EcoInvent 3.10.

Importing methods

Now, the methods, that's another story. I checked out bw2io, and right now there doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to import the LCIA Implementation 3.10.xlsx file. If I were you, I'd write my own function, taking inspiration from the EcoinventLCIAImporter and the import_ecoinvent_release function in bw2io.ecoinvent.

Final remark

I know this is quite a lot, which shows that we need to do better in this regard.

Hopefully this helps in some way!

Kind regards,

Marin
