CSVmaker
CSVmaker is a macro for Microsoft Excel that converts Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) in Excel format to .CSV format, which can then be imported into SimaPro for further analysis. The macro is created by LCA 2.-0
CSVmaker enables a very simple transfer of LCA processes from Excel to SimaPro, but also works for more advanced models with parameters and uncertainty data.
Miljögiraff offers coaching in the program to help you get started easily (not included in the price).
Library of LCI data
SIMAPRO – RELIABLE libraries of LCI data AND METHODS
SimaPro is equipped with many LCI datasets, including the renowned ecoinvent database, the new industry-specific Agri-footprint database, and the ELCD database.
The methods are consistent and transparent, allowing you to easily zoom in on your results through the different stages of your LCA.
DATA LIBRARY
An LCA is only as good and relevant as the data used. To effectively build and analyze LCA models, transparent, high-quality, and industry-accepted data is required for the most commonly used materials and processes. Quality datasets are included in your SimaPro license.
With SimaPro, you gain access to the largest and most relevant data libraries. In the program, all results can be traced back to their origin with just a few mouse clicks. You can easily zoom in on “hotspots” or areas of focus. All datasets are harmonized in terms of structure, nomenclature, and are well-suited for life cycle impact assessment methods.
SimaPro includes the following databases by default:
- ecoinvent v3.x LCI database (ask for a specific offer if you do not need it)
- Agri-Footprint LCI database (2019)
- European reference Life Cycle Database (ELCD, ILCD)
- U.S. Life Cycle Inventory Database (USLCI 2012)
- Danish and EU Input Output Database
- Industry data library: PlasticsEurope, ERASM, World Steel
- Swiss Input-Output-Database (2005)
Also available free of charge:
