Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Isobutane is an organic substance with a CAS no.: 000075-28-5. It is called '2-methylpropane' under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C4H10. It is gaseous under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and appears as a colorless gas with no distinct odor. It is modelled as a pure substance. On a consumer level, is used in the following products: anti-freeze products, adhesives and sealants, polishes and waxes, air care products, washing & cleaning products, cosmetics and personal care products, fuels and adsorbents.  On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: fuels and chemicals. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: aviation fuel. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is not included meaning the emission factor does not account for capital goods.
