Catalytic converter - three-way - mini chp plant (catalytic converter production - three-way - mini CHP plant)

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 three-way. The product is used in a mini combined heat and power (CHP) plant. The process includes the most important materials used for production energy and water needed for production. The volume of the catalyst used for the mini CHP was given as 0.27 liters the weight as 0.5 kg. Palladium and rhodium are used for the coating. 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 ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
