Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is light olefins production, from methanol-to-olefins conversion, ethylene-to-propylene ratio of 1.51. The reference product is butene, mixed. Butene, mixed is a fossil fuel with a calorific value of 45.3 MJ/kg. It is gaseous at standard conditions, but often liquefied for its use as a fuel, and is sourced from steam cracking of naphtha followed by fractional distillation or ethylene dimerisation. Its main applications are in the following sectors: gasoline additive and polymer production. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
