Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product "This product represents magnesium chloride that is produced during the production of hafnium sponge using the Kroll process. The reduction and distillation step consists of the following reaction: HfCl4 + 2Mg -> Hf + 2MgCl2.  The magnesium chloride produced from this reaction is sent to an electrolysis process which recovers part of the magnesium and chlorine. This product should not be used in any other context." The cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

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.
