ReCiPe methods description error #164

Open jmliesa opened 1 year ago

jmliesa commented 1 year ago

We all know there are different perspectives on how GWP is calculated in ReCiPE. However, the tuple stored in brightway methods are all described as “GWP1000”, so there are no differences in the description of (E), (H) and (I) Recipe perspectives. Rather, it should indicate "GWP100" and "GWP20" accordingly.

I assume this is only a typo mistake that does not affect characteritzation factors, but I still have to check that! Meanwhile, I let you know @BenPortner @cmutel! Thanks!

I just noticed this as well. Were you able to confirm this is only a typo mistake? From my end, I'm seeing about a 5% difference in the bw2 calculated climate change impact as compared to the impact calculated using ecoquery/openlca. The other categories seem accurate to 4 or 5 digits.

I also notice a slight error from the expected results in ecoquery and openlca
