Emission intensity of propylene glycol (C3H8O2). 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 propylene glycol production, liquid. The Reference Product is propylene glycol, liquid. Propylene glycol, liquid is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000057-55-6. It is called propane-1,2-diol under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C3H8O2. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and it has no odor. 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: anti-freeze products, coating products, fillers, putties, plasters, modelling clay, lubricants and greases and finger paints There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on industrial sites. 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/645/documentation
