Emission intensity of glass (flat glass). Retrieved from the file Informationsblatt CO2-Faktoren v3.3 in the source URL. Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Glass (flat glass)

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: flat glass manufacturing. 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.

Flat glass manufacturing

Emission intensity of direct CO2 emissions from the respective industrial process. Retrieved from the sheet: '03_Industrieprozesse' of the Excel file 'Emissionsfaktoren zur THG-Bilanzierung (xlsx-Format) 2.0' published by UBA at the source URL. Data quality flag: Partial factor - this EF includes only CO2 value; it does not include values for CH4/N2O and other greenhouse gases.

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars at 2022 prices. 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). NAICS Code: 327211. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.3.

Emission intensity of supply chain in US dollars at 2024 purchaser prices (without margins). These do not include emissions from trade and transport margins. 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). NAICS Code: 327211.  USEEIO Code: 327200. Retrieved from Supply Chain GHG Emission Factors v1.4.0.

Emission intensity of direct CO2 emissions from the respective industrial process. Retrieved from the sheet: '03_Industrieprozesse' of the Excel file 'Emissionsfaktoren zur THG-Bilanzierung (xlsx-Format) 2.1' published by UBA at the source URL. Data quality flag: Partial factor - this EF includes only CO2 value; it does not include values for CH4/N2O and other greenhouse gases.

Emission intensity of flat glass - uncoated. Provided by the Integrated Carbon Metrics (ICM) Embodied Carbon Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Database (ICM Database). Note: The CO2e value only takes into account CO2 CH4 and N2O. The CO2e values were calculated using the process method (no embodied GHG emissions from input-output processes are included). Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Flat glass - uncoated

Emission intensity of flat glass uncoated at plant. Retrieved from the file AusLCI_1.42_EF_Published in the source URL. Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Flat glass - uncoated (at plant)

Emission intensity of flat glass coated at plant. Retrieved from the file AusLCI_1.42_EF_Published in the source URL. Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Flat glass - coated (at plant)

Emission intensity of flat glass - coated. Provided by the Integrated Carbon Metrics (ICM) Embodied Carbon Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Database (ICM Database).
