Emission factor summary
The activity generating the emissions is gas power plant construction, 100MW electrical. The Reference Product is gas power plant, 100MW electrical. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a gas power plant, 100MW electrical. The infrastructure represents an average gas power plant with a 100 MWe capacity and an assumed lifetime for operation of 180,000 h (approximately 5,000 h/a, 36 years of operation). Gas power plants can be used to cover peak loads. As a result, the annual number of operating hours can be relatively low. The gas power plant requires an area of 2000 m2. The process includes all materials necessary to construct it and energy consumption during manufacturing. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/7350/documentation
