The activity generating the emissions is soda production, solvay process. The reference product is sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is an inorganic substance with a CAS no. : 000144-55-8. It is called sodium;hydrogen carbonate under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: CHNaO3. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure , it appears as a white powder and is soluble in water (especially hot water). 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: cooking, pyrotechnics, disinfectants, fire extinguishers, cleaning agents. 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 ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/19124/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.
