The activity generating the emissions is mine infrastructure construction, open cast, peat. The reference product is mine infrastructure, open cast, peat. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a mine infrastructure, open cast, peat. As an approximation, the same conditions as for open cast mining of lignite are assumed. The infrastructure has a lifetime of 40-50 years for the mine and a lifetime of 30 years for the machinery. In open cast lignite mining, there are almost only mobile facilities, apart from conveyor belts, rails and administration buildings.  The process includes machinery and equipment, electricity consumption and land use. 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/491/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.
