ReCiPe2016 versions #6

Hi there, I was looking for the most recent ReCiPe2016 version. As I use the latest activity-browser (dev version), I was wondering which ReCiPe2016 is latest? This one here with V1.1 or in the BW2 with 1.13?

Best, Henning

Hi @hewigger ,

the v.1.13 that comes with BW2 is in fact an update of ReCiPe 2008 (from 2013 if I recall correctly).

This here is rather an attempt at implementing ReCiPe 2016. And I say "an attempt" as it has not proved totally successful yet. We're still having difficulties with toxicity-related indicators and are not really receiving the needed support from the team behind ReCiPe. In other words, I would not use it just yet. Your best hope at getting ReCiPe 2016 is maybe by waiting for the next major ecoinvent update.

Hi @romainsacchi, thanks a lot for the answer for clarifying the different versions.
