Mine infrastructure - gold (mine construction - gold)

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 nuclear fuel factory. The lifetime is assumed to be 30 years. In the modelled fuel factory mixed oxide fuel assemblies (MOX mixture of uranium oxide from depleted uranium from enrichment and plutonium oxide from reprocessed plutonium) are used together with fresh uranium fuel assemblies in light water reactors (LWRs). The associated infrastructure demand factor is 3.7E-8 plant per kgU in fuel assembly.The process includes land use of the factory energy (electricity and diesel) consumption durion construction building material (concrete steel copper aluminium chrome manganese nickel cast iron zinc and wood) 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 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. CO2 equivalent factors incorporate emissions from land use; constituent gases have not been included as they do not. The LCA boundaries of these factors are not defined by the source. These factors include effects of international trade.
