Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is forging, steel, large open die. The reference product is forging, steel. This is delivering the service of forging, steel. Steel forging takes place in a large open die press cylindrical or block shapes and it forges pieces weight from 2 to 25 tonnes. The heated metal parts are shaped between a top die attached to a ram and a bottom die attached to a bolster, anvil, or hammer. The service includes input materials, energy consumption, production infrastructure, emissions, waste treatment but it excludes the input of steel. The forged steel with open die forging process is used to produce larger, simpler-shaped parts such as bars, rings, and hollows. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
