Tools for importing and export life cycle inventory databases

Project description

bw2io pypi version bw2io conda-forge version bw2io appveyor build status Test coverage report

This package provides tools for the import, export, and management of inventory databases and impact assessment methods. It is part of the Brightway LCA framework. Online documentation is available, and the source code is hosted on Github.

Bw2io approach

brightway2-io is an ETL library. First, data is extracted into a common format. Next, a series of strategies is employed to uniquely identify each dataset and link datasets internally and to the biosphere. Following internal linking, linking to other background datasets can be performed. Finally, database data is written to disk.

This approach offers a number of benefits that help mitigate some of the serious problems in existing inventory data formats: the number of unlinked exchanges can be easily seen, linking strategies can be iteratively applied, and intermediate results can be saved.

Here is a typical usage. Note that we also have shortcuts for popular LCA databases such as ecoinvent:

In [1]: import bw2io as bi

In [2]: import brightway2 as bw2

In [3]: bi.__version__
Out[3]: (0, 8, 7)

In [4]: bw2.__version__
Out[4]: (2, 4, 1)

In [5]: importer = bi.SingleOutputEcospold2Importer('path/to/ecoinvent/datasets/', 'ei_38_cutoff')
Extracting XML data from 19565 datasets
Extracted 19565 datasets in 19.21 seconds

In [6]: importer.apply_strategies()

Applying strategy: delete_none_synonyms
Applied 21 strategies in 3.62 seconds

In [7]: importer.statistics()
19565 datasets
629959 exchanges
0 unlinked exchanges

Out[7]: (19565, 629959, 0)

In [8]: if importer.statistics()[2] == 0:
...:     importer.write_database()
...: else:
...:     print("There are unlinked exchanges.")
...:     importer.write_excel()
...:
19565 datasets
629959 exchanges
0 unlinked exchanges
