Emission intensity of benzene (C6H6). Retrieved from the file Informationsblatt CO2-Faktoren v3.3 in the source URL. Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Benzene' is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000071-43-2. It is called 'benzene' under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C6H6. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure with a gasoline like odour. It is modelled as a pure substance.  On a consumer level, is used in the following products: laboratory chemicals. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: chemicals, coating, fillers, polymers, plastics and gasoline additives. If used as a fuel, it has a calorific value of 42.50 MJ/kg and is a fossil fuel, sourced from catalytic reforming of crude oil. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
