The activity generating the emissions is lignite dust factory construction. The reference product is lignite dust factory. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a lignite dust factory. An annual production of 2 million t and a lifetime of 30 years are assumed. Coke ovens are either autonomous plants located near mines or are operated close to smelters. The infrastructure comprises a large number of ovens, which are operated for around 20 hours per charge and therefore have a low throughput. The further processing of raw gas and tar also requires facilities that are comparable to a small chemical plant. The area accounted for the power plant is estimated as 2*105 m2 . Briquette factories are usually connected to a power plant, which supplies the heat for drying. The process includes the most important construction materials for the plant and their decommission, land use and energy consumption for the construction. 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/2874/documentation.

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.
