Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Methanol'  is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000067-56-1. It is called 'methanol' under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: CH4O. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and has a pungent odour. The substance is modelled as a pure substance. On a consumer level, is used in the following products: washing & cleaning products, anti-freeze products and fuels. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: laboratory chemicals, water treatment chemicals, fuels and washing & cleaning products. 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.

The activity generating the emissions is methanol production, from coal gasification. The reference product is methanol. Methanol is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000067-56-1.
