Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is manure, liquid, cattle, Recycled Content cut-off. The Reference Product is manure, liquid, cattle. Manure, liquid, cattle is a liquid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It is primarily generated in livestock activities of cattle. manure, liquid, cattle contain the following fractions: 100% cattle, liquid manure. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),manure, liquid, cattle has 92.5% water on wet mass basis (7.5% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only non-fossil origin (68% on a dry matter basis). It has no heating value. This kind of by-product (recyclable or waste) is generated from ordinary transforming activities, and as such can be considered for modelling waste outputs of comparable composition. In the ecoinvent database, treatment option/s for this by-product include: biological (anaerobic digestion). Based on the aforementioned treatments, this by-product receives, it is a non-hazardous waste. In addition, this by-product is used in the following processes: alfalfa/grass silage production; apricot production; asparagus seedling production, for planting; banana production; barley production; carrot production; coconut production, dehusked; hay production; kenaf production, irrigated; lemon production; linseed production; maize grain production; maize silage production; mandarin production; nutrient supply from manure, liquid, cattle; oat production; olive production; palm fruit bunch production; peach production; pear production; potato production; rape seed production; soybean production; sugar beet production; sunflower production; sweet corn production; tea production, dried; tomato production, fresh grade, open field; wheat production; white asparagus production. This by-product can be modelled on two levels: treatment activity and market activity. The former one refers to the specific technology treating the by-product while the latter level represents a mix of treatments. Users are encouraged to inspect the modelling assumptions of the treatment activities and when selecting the market to additionally inspect the treatment mix. Collection and transportation of this by-product is accounted in the respective market activity, users are advised to inspect and modify the average transportation distances for a case specific modelling. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
