The activity generating the emissions is unsaturated hydrocarbons production, steam cracking operation, average. The reference product is ethylene. Ethylene is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000074-85-1. It is called ethene under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C2H4. It is gas under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and appears as a colourless gas with a sweet odour. It is modelled as a pure substance. 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: fuels. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: polymers and plastics, fuels and laboratory chemicals.  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/28431/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.
