Lignite briquettes factory (market for lignite briquettes factory)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an immobile infrastructure representing the construction of lignite briquettes factory. An annual production of 2 million t and a lifetime of 30 years are assumed. Coke ovens are either autonomous plants located near mines or are operated close to smelters. The infrastructure comprises a large number of ovens which are operated for around 20 hours per charge and therefore have a low throughput. The further processing of raw gas and tar also requires facilities that are comparable to a small chemical plant. The area accounted for the power plant is estimated as 2*105 m2 . Briquette factories are usually connected to a power plant which supplies the heat for drying. TThe process includes the most important construction materials for the plant and their decommission land use and energy consumption for the construction. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
