Emission factor summary
The activity generating the emissions is market for limestone, from algae. The reference product is limestone, from algae. The product limestone, from algae represents agricultural lime(stone) from algae, which is extracted from the seabed, dried, milled and used as fertiliser. Lime from algae is not a byproduct of any production process. It consists of 89.2% CaCO3 (calcium carbonate). The original water content of algae brought up from the seabed is 25% by weight. After being transported to the limestone fertilizer plant, the algae are dried to a water content of 2.5%. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/94576/documentation.
