Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product titanium sponge is produced by processing titanium ore using the Kroll process. It can then be processed further to produce titanium alloys billets ingots and other products. It is primarily used by the aerospace industry but is also used in other sectors. 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 dollars spend on: basic iron/steel and other metals. Provided by the Market Economics Limited 2023 in the Consumption Emissions Modelling report prepared for Auckland Council. Retrieved from the sheet: Cons EF 199 SUT in the excel file: consumption-emissions-modelling-market-economics-march-2023-dataset.

Basic iron/steel and other metals

Emission intensity of supply chain (purchase of service/standard good/capital good) in US dollars spend on: basic metals and fabricated metal. Factors retrieved from the Quantis+GHG Protocol Scope 3 Calculator for the year 2016 and apply for years beyond 2016. The same emission factor applies to different types of investments in joint ventures/subsidiaries/associate companies that were not captured in Scope 1 emissions.

Basic metals and fabricated metal

Emission intensity of metals (closed-loop source) The EF should be used to report on consumption of procured materials based on their origin (that is comprised of primary material or recycled materials). For primary materials these factors cover the extraction/primary processing/manufacturing and transportation materials to the point of sale not the materials in use. For secondary materials the factors cover sorting/processing/manufacturing and transportation to the point of sale not the materials in use.

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: precious metals. 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.
