Emission factor summary
The activity generating the emissions is pitch production, petroleum refinery operation. The Reference Product is pitch. Pitch is an organic viscoelastic polymer which can be fossil or non-fossil, derived from petroleum, coal tar or plants. It is mainly used in the construction industry. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. It is modelled as a mix of hydrocarbons. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/20462/documentation
