Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product scandium(III) oxide (Sc2O3) or scandia is a inorganic compound and the principal form of re-fined scandium. Scandium-rich ores (thortveitite and kolbeckite) occur rarely in nature. There-fore Scandium is mostly produced as a byproduct during the extraction and processing of other metals. Main applications include: Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) aluminum-scandium alloys fuel cells and lasers. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
