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.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: basic organic chemicals. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is included meaning the emission factor also accounts for capital goods.
