Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is heat production, wood pellet, at furnace 300kW. The Reference Product is heat, central or small-scale, other than natural gas. This product represents heat measured in MJ. The heat is produced through various other means than natural gas. This includes burning of biomethane in gas turbine; biogas in co-gen gas engine; anthracite, coal, lignite briquettes and coke in stove; hardwood, logs, softwood, wood chips, wood pellets in furnaces and wood heaters; light fuel oil in boilers. Also contributing are heat from heat pumps and solar collectors. The dataset is targeted for central or small-scale heating. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
