The activity generating the emissions is nuclear power plant construction, boiling water reactor 1000MW. The reference product is nuclear power plant, boiling water reactor 1000MW. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a nuclear power plant, boiling water reactor 1000MW. The infrastructure has a capacity of 1,000MW and a lifetime of 40 years. Estimation based on data of the power plant in Leibstadt, CH with a net installed capacity of 1080 MW (year 1999). The process includes building materials (steel, copper, titan, aluminium, concrete, asbestos cement, wood and paper, oil, diesel and heating oils), their decommission, energy  requirements for the construction 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/6008/documentation.

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.
