Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is heat and power co-generation unit construction, 6400kW thermal, common components for heat+electricity. The Reference Product is heat and power co-generation unit, 6400kW thermal, common components for heat+electricity. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the production of a heat and power co-generation unit, common components for heat and electricity, with a thermal output of 6,400kW. The infrastructure consists of the common components for heat electricity co-generation unit. It has a lifetime of 20 years, operation time for heat production of 2,030 h/year and for electricity production 3,500 h/year. The process includes the most important materials used for the fabrication of the cogeneration unit, energy needed for the production and the decommission of the unit. The factor of the electrical performance class is derived from the assumed total operating time of 100,000 hours divided by the service life of the components. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
