Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an immobile infrastructure representing the construction of a hydropower plant run-of-river. The lifetime of the structural part is assumed to be 80 years while for the remaining parts the lifetime is 40 years. Run-of-river power plants are hydro power plants without important reservoirs. Depending on the net head of the power plant high-pressure medium-pressure and low-pressure systems can be distinguished. Low-pressure power plants including river power stations and canal power plants are very common; therefore these two types of run-of-river power stations are covered in the dataset. The technology used in the dataset has an overall efficiency of 82%. The process includes all materials necessary to construct it electricity and water consumption during manufacturing and decommission.  The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of supply chain in GBP spend on: buildings and building construction works. Provided by BEIS/DEFRA in the official report on UK and England's carbon footprint to 2019. Retrieved from the UK full dataset 1990 - 2021 including conversion factors by SIC code (sheets: ghg_sic_mult and co2_sic_mult).

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: commercial and institutional building construction. This factor is representative of the described goods or services category as defined by the 2017 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.2.

Commercial and institutional building construction

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: commercial and institutional building construction. This factor is representative of the described goods or services category as defined by the 2017 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: construction work. Retrieved from the EXIOBASE v3.8.2 model outputs for products. These factors were calculated based on 2019 data. They include emissions from land-use. The split into constituent gases is not provided as the source does not provide a split of gases. The LCA boundaries of these factors are not defined by the source. These factors include effects of international trade.
