Emission intensity of foam glass. Provided by the Integrated Carbon Metrics (ICM) Embodied Carbon Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Database (ICM Database). Note: The CO2e value only takes into account CO2 CH4 and N2O. The CO2e values were calculated using the process method (no embodied GHG emissions from input-output processes are included). Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Emission intensity of foam glass at plant. Retrieved from the file AusLCI_1.42_EF_Published in the source URL. Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Foam glass (at plant)

Emission intensity of foam glass. Provided by the Integrated Carbon Metrics (ICM) Embodied Carbon Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Database (ICM Database). Note: The CO2e value only takes into account CO2 CH4 and N2O. The CO2e values were calculated using the hybrid method which combines process data from AusLCI with input-output (IO) data to account for upstream activities not covered in process datasets (e.g. services / finance / insurance / machinery / equipment / capital goods). Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.
