Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Maleic anhydride'  is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000108-31-6. It is called 'furan-2,5-dione' under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C4H2O3. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and has a light white colour. The substance is modelled as a pure substance. On a consumer level, is used in the following products: adhesives and sealants, fertilisers, washing & cleaning products and water treatment chemicals. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: polymers and laboratory chemicals. This substance is used for the synthesis of other substances (use as intermediate). The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'maleic anhydride' is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000108-31-6. It is called 'furan-2 5-dione' under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C4H2O3. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and has a light white colour. 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 fertilisers washing & cleaning products and water treatment chemicals. On industrial sites the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: polymers and laboratory chemicals. This substance is used for the synthesis of other substances (use as intermediate). The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of supply chain (purchase of service/standard good/capital good) in US dollars spend on: chemicals and chemical products. Factors retrieved from the Quantis+GHG Protocol Scope 3 Calculator for the year 2016 and apply for years beyond 2016. The same emission factor applies to different types of investments in joint ventures/subsidiaries/associate companies that were not captured in Scope 1 emissions.

Chemicals and chemical products

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: chemicals (except basic chemicals/agrichemicals/polymers/paints/pharmaceuticals/soaps/cleaning compounds). This factor is representative of the described commodity (equivalent to a goods or services category) and was obtained from the USEEIO model. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment.

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: chemicals (except basic chemicals/agrichemicals/polymers/paints/pharmaceuticals/soaps/cleaning compounds). This factor is representative of the described commodity (equivalent to a goods or services category) and was obtained from the USEEIO model v1.0.1. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.1.1

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: chemicals (not specified in other EXIOBASE emission factors). Retrieved from the EXIOBASE v3.8.2 model outputs for products. These factors were calculated based on 2019 data. CO2 equivalent factors incorporate emissions from land use; constituent gases have not been included as they do not. The LCA boundaries of these factors are not defined by the source. These factors include effects of international trade.
