# pyLCAIO

An object class to hybridize lifecycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) databases.

* Create your own LCA-IO hybrid database (e.g., combining ecoinvent and exiobase data)

* Automates hybridization and correction for double-counting with two available methods (STAM and binary)

* Default parameters only allow the hybridization of ecoinvent 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.7.1, 3.8 and 3.9 with EXIOBASE3.7+ (v3.7 and higher)

* The resulting hybrid-ecoinvent database can be exported to brightway2 and the GUI activity-browser

* Includes matching of ecoinvent and EXIOBASE environmental flows to Impact World+

Specific additional features, _**only available**_ while hybridization ecoinvent3.5 with exiobase

* Can accept capitals-endogenized version of EXIOBASE

* Includes extrapolated additional environmental extensions for EXIOBASE (from USEEIO)

* Includes _**regionalized**_ characterization matrices for use with Impact World+

This library will be regularly updated to provide support for newer versions of ecoinvent.

# System requirements
