Emission factor summary

Process description: The esterification of acrylic acid with ethanol produces the main product ethyl acrylate. For this purpose, the process consumes sulfuric acid, caustic soda (50%), ethanol, hydroquinone, and acrylic acid (ester-grade). Utilities consumed comprise cooling water, steam, electricity, inert gas, and process water. Dataset type is technology-specific (extension layer). Allocation type is no allocation needed in this unit process. In case of energy co-production, allocation via avoided burden is applied for the co-produced energy. CAS RN is 140-88-5. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
