Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is steel milling, dressing. The reference product is steel removed by milling, dressing. This is delivering the service of steel removed by milling, dressing. Milling is a chipping process where the piece of the material is fixed to a movable table while the cutting energy is provided by the rotating cutting tool. It is used for complex shaping and it can be applied to metals, wood and plastic materials. When the process is performed with dressing operation, then only minor amounts of materials are removed to produce the exact dimensions and smooth surface. This dataset represents the milling of 1kg of steel. The service includes materials input, production infrastructure, energy consumption, water consumption and materials end-of-life. Degreasing is not included and has to be added if necessary. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
