Although they provide an implementation of commonly used impact assessment methods linked to their list of elementary flows, and these methods are provided by brightway by default. Furthermore, ecoinvent is esentially LCI. But you can add it as metadata or use it as variable to calculate your technosphere and biosphere flows. Finally you save it as a database.Īs a side note, Brightway does not need the pressure to calculate anything. There are examples of Importers and Extractors in bw2io. Then you use strategies to transform the data so it meets the requirements of activities.

First you build an extractor that picks the data you need from the json file (a json is very easy to de-serialize into a dictionary). In the end is a way to generate a dictionary (like the one you provide in the comments) but step by step. There are several examples of importers in bw2io. I am not familiar with Aspen, but one option could be to create an importer that picks that json file and creates the (foreground) database with your activities modelled in Aspen connected to background processes (e.g. You can create new activities (your foreground database) based on the results from Aspen.
