Lignite power plant (market for)

The activity generating the emissions is market for lignite power plant. The Reference Product is lignite power plant. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a lignite power plant. The infrastructure represents the components of a coal power plant, based on two specific reference coal power plants with 100 MW and 500 MW. The dataset represents a mix with a share of 30 % and 70 %, respectively. The smaller power plants are equipped with electrostatic precipitators (ESP) and flue gas desulfurization plants (FGD), while an additional DeNOx plant was considered for the large power plants. This corresponds to lifetimes of 33 and 38 years, respectively. The area required is 2050 m2/MW. In addition, a construction period of 2 years is assumed. The process includes the materials necessary for the construction, construction efforts, land use as well as the decommission of all materials. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity.
