Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is nutrient supply from manure, liquid, cattle. The reference product is organic potassium fertiliser, as K2O. Organic potassium fertiliser, as K2O is an organic substance, which is supplying the nutrient of Potassium to the plants. It is mostly solid (else liquid) under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. The product represents an equivalent form of Potassium that is present in the fertiliser and is expressed as a mass of pure potassium oxide (K2O). The term "organic" refers to the source of the nutrient being from natural or organic materials. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on a consumer level. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on industrial sites. Based on EU regulations (REGULATION (EU) 2019/1009), when this substance is used as fertiliser, the N-P-K can vary depending on the fertiliser. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
