Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is gas power plant construction, combined cycle, 400MW electrical. The reference product is gas power plant, combined cycle, 400MW electrical. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a gas power plant, combined cycle, 400MW electrical. The infrastructure represents a power plant with a gas turbine of 265MWe and a steam turbine of 140MWe, while its life time is assumed to be 180,000 h (approximately 5,000 h/a, 36 years of operation). Gas power plants can be used to cover peak loads. As a result, the annual number of operating hours can be relatively low. The process includes all materials necessary to construct it and energy consumption during manufacturing. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
