Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is treatment, sludge from pulp and paper production, landfarming. The Reference Product is organo-mineral phosphorus fertiliser, as P2O5. Organo-mineral phosphorus fertiliser, as P2O5 is a substance with mixed organic and inorganic origin that is supplying the nutrient of Phosphorus to plants. More speciffically, it is a co-formulation of a) one or more inorganic fertilisers mixed with b) one or more materials that contain organic carbon and nutrients of solely biological origin. It is mostly solid (else liquid) under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. The product represents an equivalent form of Phosphorus that is present in the fertiliser and is expressed as a mass of pure phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. Based on EU regulations (REGULATION (EU) 2019/1009), if this substance would be used as fertiliser, the N-P-K can vary depending on the fertiliser. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
