The activity generating the emissions is enzymes production. The reference product is enzymes. Enzymes refer to the organic substance group of enzymes, represented by a mix of three enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts which can accelerate reactions. Enzymes are mostly liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. The product is modelled as a mixture of pure substances. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level, is used in the following products: Besides their biologic funtions (e.g. in the human metabolism), enzymes are applied in varius industries, as the biofuel industry, brewing industry, cooking industy, dairy industry, food processing, molecular biology, paper industry, personal care industry and the starch industry. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on industrial sites. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/17169/documentation.

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.
