The activity generating the emissions is silicon production, solar grade, modified Siemens process. The reference product is silicon, solar grade. Silicon, solar grade is an inorganic substance with a CAS no. : 007440-21-3. It is called silicon under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: Si. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure with no information available about its odor. The substance is modelled with >98% purity Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on a consumer level. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: electronics The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/8346/documentation.

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.
