Emission intensity of lubricating oil. Retrieved from the file Informationsblatt CO2-Faktoren v3.3 in the source URL. Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

The activity generating the emissions is lubricating oil production. The Reference Product is lubricating oil. Lubricating oil represents a generic kind of lubricants, with mineral oil components to be the most important ingredient. It can be used in the following applications: to reduce friction and wear in moving parts usually in internal combustion engines, vehicle and industrial gearboxes, compressors, turbines, or hydraulic systems etc. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/3230/documentation
