Emission factor summary
Process description: The coke oven produces the main product coal tar. For this purpose, the process consumes nitrogen and coal (general spec.). Utilities consumed comprise steam, electricity, and process water. Dataset type is technology-specific (extension layer). Allocation type is allocation via price. In case of energy co-production, allocation via avoided burden is applied for the co-produced energy. CAS RN is unspecific. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
