The activity generating the emissions is lithium carbonate production, from spodumene. The reference product is lithium carbonate. Lithium carbonate is an inorganic substance with a CAS no. : 000554-13-2. It is called dilithium carbonate under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: CH2O3.2Li. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. 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: adhesives and sealants, fillers, putties, plasters, modelling clay, welding & soldering products, textile treatment products and dyes, adsorbents, pH regulators and water treatment products and pharmaceuticals. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: adhesives and sealants, fillers, putties, plasters, modelling clay, coating products and non-metal-surface treatment products. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.

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.
