Due to popular demand, the method to calculate the Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) can now be imported for use with all databases available for openLCA. The impact assessment method is based on the method published by ecoinvent and has been expanded by other elementary flows available in openLCA 1.4.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Centro Mario Molina in Mexico for supporting this development!

There have been a couple of minor changes to other methods in the pack concerning normalization and weighting. For more information please see the detailed information log here.

Tip! In order to import not only the CED method but also the changes to other methods, please make sure to delete method pack version 1.5.1 from your database in openLCA before importing the zolca file of version 1.5.2.
