The activity generating the emissions is wood preservative production, creosote. The reference product is wood preservative, creosote. Wood preservative, creosote  is an organic substance. It is a creosote WEI type C according to EN 13991 (also called heavy oil, dead oil) for the use class 4 (use classes according to EN 335-1:2005). It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. It is modelled as a mix of hydrocarbons. 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: construction and agriculture. Creosote is commonly used to preserve and waterproof cross ties/railway sleepers, pilings, telephone poles, power line poles, marine pilings, and fence posts. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.

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.
