The activity generating the emissions is hafnium sponge production, from hafnium tetrachloride. The reference product is hafnium sponge. Hafnium sponge is the product of the Kroll process, during which the HfCl4 obtained from the zirconium / hafnium separation process is reduced by adding magnesium to hafnium sponge and magnesium chloride. Hafnium is mostly used in the atomic energy industry as a neutron absorber or for the production of nuclear reaction control rods and protection devices. Other applications include the use as cathode in X-ray tube or as an electronic material for the manufacture of photovoltaics. 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/26230/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.
