Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an infrastructure representing the product of a catalytic converter oxidation. The infrastructure has a volumetric capacity of 20 litres. During production the effective surfaces are coated with approximately 1.5 g (catalyst) per liter (catalysator) whereby for oxidation catalysts - assumed here - platinum/palladium with a ratio of 3:1 is used. During production the catalyst is heated for approx. 5 hours at 300 °C in an electrically heated air stream. This requires 2 kW of electrical power per liter of catalyst volume is required. The lifespan is assumed to be 20'000 operating hours. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
