Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is ethanol production from sweet sorghum. The reference product is ethanol, without water, in 95% solution state, from fermentation. Ethanol, without water, in 95% solution state, from fermentation is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 000064-17-5. It is called ethan-1-ol under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C2H6O. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. This dataset represents a pure substance (100% active substance). Industrially, this product is mostly used in 95% solution state. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level, is used in the following products: fuels, coating products, anti-freeze products, washing & cleaning products, biocides (e.g. disinfectants, pest control products), adhesives and sealants, inks and toners and leather treatment products. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: chemicals, machinery and vehicles, textile, leather or fur, furniture, electrical, electronic and optical equipment and fabricated metal products. If used as a fuel, it has a calorific value of 31.58 MJ/kg and is a non-fossil fuel, sourced from fermentation of sugar cane, sugar beet (molasses), maize, grass, rye, potatoes, wood, whey and sweet sorghum. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
