Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is nutrient supply from compost. The Reference Product is organic nitrogen fertiliser, as N. Organic nitrogen fertiliser, as N is an organic substance, which is supplying the nutrient of Nitrogen to plants. It is mostly solid (else liquid) under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. The product represents an equivalent form of Nitrogen that is present in the fertiliser and is expressed as a mass of pure nitrogen (N). The term "organic" refers to the source of the nutrient being from natural or organic materials. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on a consumer level.
