Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for scandium oxide. The Reference Product is scandium oxide. Scandium(III) oxide (Sc2O3) or scandia is a inorganic compound and the principal form of re-fined scandium. Scandium-rich ores (thortveitite and kolbeckite) occur rarely in nature. There-fore, Scandium is mostly produced as a byproduct during the extraction and processing of other metals. Main applications include: Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), aluminum-scandium alloys, fuel cells, and lasers. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/24662/documentation
