How Can I use ecoinvent’s .spold Files with OpenLCA That is Asking for .zolca Files?
OpenLCA is an LCA software published by the company Greendelta and is a reseller of the ecoinvent database. In OpenLCA they use the proprietary file format .zolca to store datasets. In order to use the ecoinvent database with OpenLCA, the database has to be integrated in the software. This process can only be done by Greendelta themselves. Please contact their support to initiate this process.
