Emission factor summary
The activity generating the emissions is wood preservation, pressure vessel, creosote, outdoor use, ground contact. The Reference Product is wood preservation, pressure vessel, creosote, outdoor use, ground contact. This is delivering the service of wood preservation with pressure vessel method. The service represents the treatment of wood with 1 kg of creosote, for outdoor use with ground contact. The process includes inputs of creosote, electricity and heat consumption, infrastructure and emissions. The input of wood is excluded and should be added manually. According to DIN 68811:2007 Ber 1:2007-04, the following creosote input can be assumed (for railway sleepers/cross ties): beech: 130 +/- 20 kg/m3; oak: 35 +/- 15 kg/m3; pine: 65 +/- 15 kg/m3. For example, for treatment of 1 m3 of beech, roughly 130 kg of this dataset is required. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/11191/documentation
