The activity generating the emissions is urea production. The reference product is urea. Urea is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000057-13-6. It is called urea under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: CH4N2O. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and has a crystalline form. 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: fertilisers, cosmetics and personal care products and pH regulators and water treatment products. This substance has an industrial use resulting in manufacture of another substance (use of intermediates). On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: pH regulators and water treatment products and laboratory chemicals. This substance is used for the synthesis of other substances (use as intermediate). Based on EU regulations (REGULATION (EU) 2019/1009), if this substance would be used as fertiliser, it could be labelled as N-P-K of: (47-0-0). 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/5511/documentation.
