Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product ‘natural gas high pressure' is a fossil fuel for which a generic gross calorific value (GCV) of 40MJ/m3 a net calorific value (NCV) of 36.0 MJ/m3 and a density of 0.735kg/m3 for natural gas are applied in line with the global statistics (referring to standard cubic meters Sm3 measured at 15°C and 1013 mbar). It is used as a gaseous fuel and is sourced from oil and gas production and evaporation of liquid natural gas. The initial overpressure of the gas is 1-5 bar (1000-5000 hPa). Natural gas supplied at high pressure is predominantly used by large consumers e.g. power plants and industries. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
