The activity generating the emissions is deep well drilling, for geothermal power, onshore, 6000m. The Reference Product is deep well, for geothermal power, onshore, 6000m. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the drilling of a borehole of 5,500m depth and 6,000 m length for geothermal power generation in an unspecific rock formation. The infrastructure represent a rotary drilling technology used for the exploitation of the deep rock formations, similar to the oil and gas production. It is assumed to have a lifetime of 50 years. The process includes all energy uses, materials and emissions for drilling of an onshore borehole and finishing of the well, but excludes needed materials and energy use for closure of the well after its use, the different rock characteristics and land use. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
