Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of excavation - hydraulic digger. 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 hybrid method which combines process data from AusLCI with input-output (IO) data to account for upstream activities not covered in process datasets (e.g. services / finance / insurance / machinery / equipment / capital goods). Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.
