Code to generate Randonneur migration files for ecoinvent releases
Project description
ecoinvent_migrate
ecoinvent_migrate
makes the change report Excel files from ecoinvent usable.
These files are designed to allow for relinking against new versions of ecoinvent, not for updating an existing ecoinvent installation.
This library requires a valid ecoinvent license for all functionality. Output files are provided in the outputs
directory.
Installation
You can install ecoinvent_migrate via [pip] from [PyPI]:
$ pip install ecoinvent_migrate
Usage
Migration are from one release to the next, e.g. from 3.5 to 3.6. There are separate files, and separate functions, for technosphere and biosphere edges. The files produced are serialized to JSON and software agnostic, but play well with the Brightway ecosystem.
Technosphere
from ecoinvent_migrate import *
filepath = generate_technosphere_mapping("3.7.1", "3.8")
This produces a file which has allows foreground inventory datasets which linked to 3.7.1 to find suitable replacement datasets in 3.8. The produced file looks like this:

To use this file, you will need to take different actions for the two verbs. For replace
, edges in your foreground which link to an ecoinvent dataset with the same attributes as in the source
section can be replaced one-to-one with an edge to an ecoinvent process from the later release whose attributes match those in the target
section. For the disaggregate
verb, you will need to split the initial foreground edge into two or more edges, and scale the original amount and uncertainty information by the allocation
value.
If you are using Brightway, there are convenience functions in bw_migrations
and cached migration files which will be used for you automatically.
Migrations are designed and only tested for forward progress, i.e. from one release to the next subsequent release. Going in the opposite direction is not recommended.
You can't skip across multiple releases - attempting to do so will raise a VersionJump
error:
>>> generate_technosphere_mapping("3.7.1", "3.9.1")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
VersionJump:
Source (3.7.1) and target (3.9.1) don't have a change report.
Usually this is the case when one jumps across multiple releases, but not always.
For example, the change report for 3.7.1 is from 3.6, not 3.7.
The change report we have available is:
Change Report Annex v3.9 - v3.9.1.xlsx
Technosphere mapping files are system model specific, and the default system model is cutoff
. You can specify a different system model following the ecoinvent_interface
function specification with the system_model
parameters, e.g. generate_technosphere_mapping(..., system_model='apos')
.
Biosphere
The same procedure applies for biosphere edges:
from ecoinvent_migrate import *
filepath = generate_biosphere_mapping("3.9.1", "3.10")
This produces a data file like:
{
"name": "ecoinvent-3.9.1-biosphere-ecoinvent-3.10-biosphere",
"licenses": [
{
"name": "CC BY 4.0",

},
"comment": "There is no salt water flow in ecoinvent."
}
]
}
By default, the delete
verb is skipped, as this is a more cautious approach to existing data. To have the delete
section included, call generate_biosphere_mapping(..., keep_deletions=True)
.
Common input arguments
Both generate_technosphere_mapping
and generate_biosphere_mapping
accept the following input arguments:
- source_version (str): String representation of an ecoinvent version, e.g. "3.8"
- target_version (str): String representation of an ecoinvent version, e.g. "3.8"
- ecoinvent_username (str, optional): Ecoinvent account username
- ecoinvent_password (str, optional): Ecoinvent account password
- write_logs (bool, default
True
): Create detailed and high-level logs during mapping file creation - output_directory (
pathlib.Path
, default isplatformlibs.user_data_dir
): Directory for the result files
Note that we strongly recommend permanently setting your ecoinvent user credentials.
The following input parameters should normally be left to their default values:
- project_name (str): The Brightway project name into which we install ecoinvent releases to check change report data validity.
- output_version (str, default is "1.0.0"): Datapackage version number
- licenses (list, default is CC-BY): Licenses following the frictionless data datapackage standard
- description (str, default is auto-generated): Description of generated datapackage.
How does this library work?
We start by using ecoinvent_interface to download the change report Excel file, and the two ecoinvent releases (source and target). We need to download the ecoinvent data because the change report is for the unlinked and unallocated "master" data; there are some changes needed for the specific system models.
For biosphere mapping, we read the Excel file, search around for the correct worksheet and column names, and map the data to "replace" and "delete" sections. This is pretty simple.
For technosphere mapping, we need to check if the indicated datasets are actually in GLO
or in RoW
(and analogously in RER
/ RoE
.) We do this by finding the corresponding datasets in the actual database releases. We also need to use the actual data to look up the allocation factors when a single dataset is split into multiple datasets.
Not every line in the change report Excel file can be used, either because of the specifics of the system model, or some other unknown discrepancy. These exceptions are logged to both the log files and sys.stderr
:

Target process given in change report but missing in ecoinvent-3.8-cutoff lookup:

Once the given change data is segregated and cleaned, it is serialized to JSON.
