Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is catalytic converter production, three-way, mini CHP plant. The reference product is catalytic converter, three-way, mini CHP plant. 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 20000 operating hours. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
