Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is wood preservation, dipping/immersion, water-based preservative, outdoor use, no ground contact. The reference product is wood preservation, dipping/immersion method, water-based, outdoor use, no ground contact. This is delivering the service of wood preservation with the water-based dipping/immersion method. The service represents the surface treatment of dried wood with 1 kg of diluted water-based wood preservative for use class 3 (for outdoor use with no ground contact). The treatment takes place in open tank impregnation with the wood preservatives to penetrate the wood no more than three millimetres deep. The process includes inputs of the wood preservative, electricity consumption, infrastructure, emissions and end-of-life. A typical application amount is 100 g/m2. This means that for treating 1 m2 wood, 0.10 kg of this dataset is required. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
