The activity generating the emissions is mine construction, open cast, lignite. The reference product is mine infrastructure, open cast, lignite. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a mine infrastructure, open cast, lignite. The infrastructure is assumed to have a total production of 100 million tons, a lifetime of 40-50 years for the mine and a lifetime of 30 years for the machinery. In open cast lignite mining, there are almost only mobile facilities, apart from conveyor belts, rails and administration buildings. The process includes machinery and equipment, electricity consumption and land use. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/8794/documentation.
