Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for mine infrastructure, underground, hard coal. The reference product is mine infrastructure, underground, hard coal. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a mine infrastructure, underground, hard coal. The infrastructure has a lifetime of 30 years. Therefore the total lifetime production of 30 million tonne. Underground coal mining is mainly used outside of Europe. Since the hard coal is embedded in harder rocks and is harder itself, it is assumed that blasting is used, which consumes large quantities of explosives. The process includes the most important construction materials, energy consumption and machinery. 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/1952/documentation.
